How do we add a DL to watchers list for a JIRA project?
I presume DL means Distribution List? If so you need to create a JIRA ID and assign the list email to it and assign that ID as a watcher. Don't put the ID in the jira-user group, or other logon group, and it won't count against your licenses. You will need to give it browse access to the project.
You can only add users to a watcher list. A distribution list is NOT a user - it's an artefact (with an email address) held outside JIRA that JIRA has no knowledge of.
Your only practical option is to trick JIRA into representing it as a user - add a dummy user with the list's email address.
Nic,
Thanks a lot. Do you have any link to show how to add users to a watch list? Thanks.
Only the standard documentation on watchers - make sure you have the "maintain watchers" permission in the project and then click on the watchers list on the issue.
