Query on Issue Collectors

Question

We are planning to use Jira issue collector. I want to give the ability to end-users (who would be using issue collector to raise bugs) to nominate additional users and that these additional users would receive notifications during various stages of the issue life cycle.

I understand through the Jira front end it can be done through the watcher feature or by adding a user-picker custom field and adding that custom field to the notification scheme. I am not sure if a similar thing can be configured in custom issue collectors?

Rahul,

Did you try out this article https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Advanced+Use+of+the+JIRA+Issue+Collector ?

It talks about setting custom field values from the collector. While you cannot achieve auto-completion of usernames, it may be possible to accept the values in an HTML text box and set this in the custom field, if the usernames are known. I have not tested it myself.
