Is there a way to have someone be a watcher every time a particular person is assigned the task?

Shelby Baylis

Hi all,

 

We have a specific notification question. Every time persons A and B are assigned a task on a project, person Z wants to be assigned as a watcher. Only when persons A and B are assigned the task. Is this possible to automate? Or is it only manually possible?

 

Thank you!

Hello,

You would need an addon for it. You can use the Power Scripts add-on.

You could write a listener for the Issue Assigned event and check who the assignee is. If the assignee is either A or B, you can add user Z as a watcher. Your listener would look like this:

If (assignee == "userA" || assignee == "userB") {

     watchers = arrayAddElement(watchers, "UserC");

}
