Why does user keep being added as a watcher?

Eric Sara

I have an issue in a project that each time I tick off watching it, I just get added right back on. I removed myself by a number of methods including, in form editing, edit issue, and via a transition, yet I am added right back on. Does not happen for any other issues. 

I am not the creator of the issue either. 

Anyone know why this may be?

Check the users profile setting:

Autowatch: Inherit from global settings

might mean that if they work on an issue, they are automatically re-added as watchers (based on your global configuration for this), anyway, check this out in their profile.
