JQL Option for querying stories by the Watcher list

[Serena Heil]

Our JIRA is on-prem.  The client is asking for a list of stories based on users in the Watcher list.  How can I use JQL to search this?

We have a similar filter setup using watcher = currentUser() - but I'm looking for something like 

watcher in (<user1>, <user2>, <user3>) because they're not associated to any 'groups' in jira

I think depending on what you are looking to query, one of the below should work:

• issuetype = story and (watcher = user1 and watcher = user2)
• issuetype = story and (watcher = user1 OR watcher = user2)
• issuetype = story and (watcher = user1 OR watcher = user2) or (watcher = user1 and watcher = user2)

Thank you so much!  This worked like a charm:

issuetype = story and (watcher = user1 OR watcher = user2)
