Add watchers at issue creation

[Oliver Smith]

Hello, i get an error in logs my post-function (in Workflow)

my code :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def watchUsers = {usernames ->

    usernames.each {

        def user = userManager.getUserByKey(it.toString())

        watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)

    }

}

def users = ["n.lubyanskaya", "a.belyaeva","e.fedoseeva", "e.dushnova", "l.golovanova", "a.zaretskaya","v.moshkarova","a.zamekhovskaya","e.kozhukhova"]

watchUsers(users)

What could be the problem ?

logs:

Hi @Oliver Smith  Kindly use following script for adding multiple users as watcher, update usernames as per your requirement :- 

Kindly move scripted post function after "Creates the issue originally." post function, if you are applying script on create issue transition.  

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

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

def watcher = ["username1","username2"]

watcher.each{userName->
def user=ComponentAccessor.userManager.getUserByName(userName)
watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)
}

 Thanks
