Adding usert to watchers Post-Function

[pawel.gryzewski]

hi.

i've found that script on your side (https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/builtin-scripts.html) i'm trying to use clone issue and link post-function and i need to add one custom user to watchers. I've tied to use script but id doesn't work:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

doAfterCreate = {
def userKeyToAddAsWatcher = "anuser"
def watcher = userManager.getUserByKey(userKeyToAddAsWatcher)

if (watcher)

{ watcherManager.startWatching(watcher, issue) }

else {
log.warn("User with key: $

{userKeyToAddAsWatcher}

does not exist therefore would not be added as a watcher")
}
}

Do you know how to resolve this?
