Hello everyone!

I am new to JIRA and I create multiple JIRAS everyday (using jira3). Every time I add watchers manually which is extremely time consuming as I need to add 10+ watchers to each issue created (These watchers are constant and this list of watchers never change). I need to add these watchers by default when the jira is created. How do I achieve this?

Any help is much appreciated and thanks in advance!

Hi @Balaji KM 

Welcome to our Community.

You could use jira automation to add those watchers when issues are created.

You might want to also check whether all of those watchers are actually using the emails sent by Jira for anything. If not, then perhaps set up a filter of new issues you have created and suggest they subscribe to the filter to get this info.

Unless this is a situation where you need to contractually send notifications.
