Can't find Add a watcher action in the new view

Monika Frolova

This is the new view I see in Jira. I can't find options:

• add a new watcher for the issue
• convert to sub-task

So I always switch to the old view when I need them. Please help me.

Hi there, Monika.

Allow me to answer the concerns that you have with the new JIRA view:

• The functionality of adding other watchers (apart from yourself) is being tracked in the JRACLOUD-69751: Allow to add other users as Watchers and see the Watcher List in the New Issue View. As you have mentioned, the only workaround available for now is to switch to the Old View to enable the feature of adding watchers to the issue or to add the Watchers through the Issue Navigator.
• Also being tracked as a public Suggestion in JRACLOUD-70037: New Full View Issue Experience eliminates convert subtask to issue feature. The workaround available for this one is similar to the one above, to either switch to the old view or issue navigator.

We encourage you to utilize the workaround for now until further improvements are made to the new view. Feel free to leave a comment on the ticket as this helps us prioritize & understand the use case of the feature request. Hope that helps.
