Adding assignees, watchers, and other user fields from the quick view

[Victoria Guido]

Is anyone else having problems assigning users, watchers, or updating other users from the quick view? I'm either getting an error when I search for and add a user, or I'm not able to edit the field at all. 

This is super annoying when i'm trying to quickly update tickets from the kanban board.

Hey I was looking for the same today. Here is some info on the case: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Core-questions/Where-has-Add-Watchers-gone-in-the-new-JIRA-view/qaq-p/774776

And also, a not-so-quick workaround (too bad it takes 3 steps to do this)

1. click the ... on your quick view form (kanban board) and select 'More Actions'

2. start typing what you are looking for (example 'Watchers')
