Automation for adding all watchers to a child issue upon creation

Uwe Pilz

When creating a story for a parent epic or a subtask for a story I want that all watchers of that epic or story are automatically added to the child ticket.

I tried the following:

I suspect though it only takes the first watcher - not all. How can I add all watchers?

Hello @Uwe Pilz 

You can't create a Variable in a branch and then use it elsewhere. The Variable ceases to exist when the branch execution is completed.

Also, branches in Automation rules run in parallel, so you can have the actions of a branch depending on the actions of a branch listed earlier in the rule.

This is the rule you need.
