There seems to be no way to add or view watchers for Jira issue in the new view
Hello Amy,
You are correct. The new issue view does not allow you to manage watchers as the old view does, so we created a feature request in order to implement this functionality:
- Allow to add other users as Watchers and see the Watcher List in the New Issue View
Please, feel free to vote and watch it.
When will this feature be added?
Hello Mayur,
Our development team has not informed an ETA for the implementation of this feature yet, but you can vote and give your feedback on that so they can understand how this lack is impacting you.
Watchers is only one of the missing features of the new Issue view.
I'm not really sure of the point of implementing a new view while taking away functionality. Is this supposed to be progress?
Also missing:
1) Embedded text references to other tickets dont resolve to hyperlinks automatically2) Rich text fields dont offer rich text formatting options
Usability issues:
1) Link option always reverts to Blocked By instead of last used (usually Relates To in my case)
2) Changes to text fields etc dont save automatically and user has to explicitly press Save now at a field level
I'm sure there's more missing now I understand that there was no attempt to replicate the existing functionality completely - these are just the things I have spotted.
Why do we need to vote to get functionality back that was removed for no reason? Just put it all back!
November 2020.
And the Watcher functionality is still missing on the New Issue View.
What kind of joke is this ?!?
Hello @Nicolas LACOUR
Actually, the Watcher functionality is properly working on the new issue view. Please, note that the feature request is resolved now:
Allow to add other users as Watchers and see the Watcher List in the New Issue View
If you are not able to manage watchers as you need, please check if you have the proper permissions under project settings > Permissions.
Hello,
This is a complete nonsense to dissociate Reporter / Assignee / Watchers.
More generally, this layout does not make any sense.
Sorry to hear that the new issue view is not supporting your expectations.
Can you please give us more details on what do you mean by your last statement?
I apologize for my misunderstanding, but I really would like to go into further details to better understand your frustration and may provide you with a better option to achieve your needs.
In fact, it would be great if you could provide us with a practical example/use case to specify what do you mean by the following sentence:
If this is not related to the original question (Add watchers in the new issue view), you can create a new question so we can properly go into further details and ensure other users with the same concerns/questions will be able to easily find our conversation.
Thank you for your feedback and please let us know the details of your perspective.
I recommend anyone coming across this question goes to the following issue and add's their vote/interest to it.
