Watching a specific idea?

[Peter Robertson]

Is there a way for users to "watch" a specific idea like they would be able to with a Jira ticket or a page in Confluence?

For example somebody from CS might be interested in a new idea created to improve a live chat feature. Is there a way that person could follow and get notifications about that specific idea if they aren't interested in others related to a product?

Enjoy!

Hi Gilad,

Interesting question. In the past, I used Structure (Marketplace plugin) for that. Not sure if Structure supports pulling issues from JPD though, I'll test it for you tomorrow.

When we switched to JPD, we shifted to a more Kanban-style approach that didn't need as much quarterly planning and date commitments.
