Hello,

As @Nir Haimov said, you can not do it out of the box.

You could use the Power Scripts add-on:

You could write a listener for the Update Issue event with a code like this:

if (#{drop down field name} == "value1") {

watchers = addElement(watchers, "user1");

}

Hi,

You can't do that without plugin or coding.

This feature not exist out of the box in Jira.

You can use "Automation for Jira" (there is also "lite" version whic is free) and it's easy to use.
