JIRA Component Watcher Add on

[Sofia Quintero]

Hello
I am working with the JIRA Component Watcher plugin, by Ray Barham, in Jira Server. I need to know the documentation about how it works, specifically notifications. Has anyone known or used it?
The watchers users of the component are receiving notifications about every updates of the issue that was assigned to the component, despite not being as an assignee or report. Is the functionality correct?

Hi @Sofia Quintero their website says Version 2.6.2 • Jira Server 8.8.0 - 8.14.1 is released 2021-01-19 with the documentation link that I had shared in the original post.

However, on this page https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/5218/component-watcher-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=support,  you may check the currently placed documentation, wiki, submitting service request/ emailing the vendor.

@G subramanyam / @Sofia Quintero I can't seem to find information on this plugin anymore. The links you shared are no longer available. Is there a way to find the documentation? Is the plugin completely scrapped?

Hi @Shreya Rawal I too noticed the links aren't displaying the site nor documentation that were their in April. If you are an existing customer of that plugin, you will have an option to contact their support team from their plugin UI.

Thanks, @G subramanyam !

Hi @Sofia Quintero welcome to the Atlassian community forum.

Here is the component watcher's plugin documentation "Link" for your quick access and reference. Please be informed, I haven't personally used the plugin, so just sharing the documentation that might assist you.

Stay safe and stay healthy.

Thank you very much for the reply, @G subramanyam 

But I find the information to be out of date. No defined feature of the add-on found in version 2.6 onwards, with the notification "All watchers" in versions 7 or 8 of Jira server
