I am using Jira for management and team collaboration purpose. whenever I create a new issue in any board, i have been automatically added as a watcher.

hi @Priya Dharshini 

 

In workflow post-condition of Create issue, we can add users as watchers.

Since Jira doesn't allow us to update this field in post function, we can create a dummy watchersfield and add users to it, then add one more post function to copy values from dummy watchers field to actual Watchers field.

This will be useful for your company's product manager, dev lead etc.. to track using "issues watched by me" filter. I assume your notification scheme might have watchers added to all activity. So, it should send out notifications to them.
