Is there any way to add Watchers on issue creation in Jira version 7.13.5 or above?

Hi,

Is it possible to add to the Watchers list when creating an issue? I would find it very helpful to assign the ticket to a user and then add Watchers in the create issue step.

Hi Joanne,

In the new experience you can still switch dashboards from the left side navigation. If you have the left navigation minimized you can click the Dashboard icon, or expand the navigation using the > icon next to the center of the left navigation when the mouse is over the edge of the center on the navigation.

If you don't see the dashboards here, a screenshot of what you are seeing might help us figure out what is going on.

If you need to disable the new experience to get around this you can do this:

1. Select Jira home. If collapsed, expand the sidebar.
2. Under NEW Jira EXPERIENCE, select Turn off for now. Optionally, provide some feedback about your experience.

Best regards,
Brian

This new UI isn't the most intuitive for me.  Thanks for the info @Maurice I was able to navigate between dashboards.
