This is something which was possible in jira 3.12. Unfortunately in jira 5.x, we can't add any watcher if he does not have the permission to view the issue. Why I require this is I want the issue to be restricted by only some users, but if they deem anyone else should also be able to view the issue, they may add the user as a watcher. This was achieved in jira 3.12 by allowing users to add watchers and having watcher(s) as a security type in issue security. Is there any way we can circumvent the validation which happens when a watcher is added to an issue in jira 5?

Is it possible to add a watcher to an issue when permission for the user to view the issue is restricted in issue security?

Attachment upload issue - Internal error

We have been having the following problem on our jira installation:

When uploading attachments to some issues, an internal error shows up.

Following some of the questions I found online, I created a HAR of the issue and was able to reveal that the POST data was incomplete and the server response code was "0". The size of the body also was 0 bytes.

Further than that, I don't know how to find out more about this issue or how to even attempt to solve it.

I'm afraid you can't add watchers in your security levels. But you could add a multi user picker field (maintain the additional User there) and add the customfield to your security level. That schould fit your need.

Comment

In jira 5, if we add an user who does not have permission, it throws up an error. It does not use to happen in jira 3.12.

I was curious if there is any possible way we can ask jira not to check for the permission when we add a user as a watcher.

I'm not sure if there is a way but I doubt it. And if there is a way I would not recommend to circumvene jira permission.
