What is Voting?

[Katelyn Withers]

I've searching the online tutorials and community threads about voting, but I cannot find full information about voting and when's the best time to use this option. Can someone advise what this is used for and how they use it?

You could also create a new role if you prefer that to adding a group:

I was able to add a default watcher by simply creating an automation rule at the event (trigger) of New Issue Created, followed by certain conditions which are called components in automation rule config. No Plugins are required to do so and we can choose this rules at global level or at project level as well.

HTH :)

I think Bug watcher plugin does this. We used to use a Component Watcher plugin too which watches components.

Howveer, you can probably get the same watcher functionality by adding groups directly into notifications provided you can create a new notification scheme for the project. This becomes painful if you want this functionlity for all projects and that is when the plugins will help!
