Is there a way to tag all watchers (like @here) in a comment for an issue in JIRA?

Question

On JIRA, I wanted to ask a question to all the watchers by tagging them in the comment. So, that they will be notified.

is there a way? I have seen something for @user which tags team or group. but I don't want to notify all the team or group, but only the watchers who are involved for that particular issue.

@Rachel Wright What if someone has unchecked themselves in the personal Jira settings?

Do they still get the email notification if a comment is added to the ticket? I believe an @here or @watchers can work as an explicit or force notify option.

Thanks,

Hi @Chandrakanth Reddy, you don't have to tag the watchers, just make sure that they are included in the Notification Scheme powering the project.

For example, if "All Watchers" is specified on the "Issue Updated" line item, all watchers will automatically receive an email.

Here's an example:

I realize this isn't exactly what you were after, but hope it helps!
