Webhook with JQL

[Yuvaraj M]

JQL function membersOf() is working fine when I use it to search issues on the Search page, but the same is not working as expected when I use it in the webhook JQL.

My filter uses JQL field "watcher".

Eg: watcher in membersOf("devops-team-members")

Any idea?

Maybe permissions problem? What user is invoking the webhook?

@Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__ I don't see any permissions problem here. I have administrator access and I created this webhook for the events - issue created & updated. Also, I checked this webhook using another JQL filter "watchers = 2" and it worked fine and only on the subset of issues where the watchers count is 2 as expected. So, no permissions issue here.

@Yuvaraj M can you describe your webhook? What event is raising it? What is the configuration?

[Yuvaraj M]

@Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__My webhook sends details about the issues to an external web application when an issue is created or updated. This webhook should work only on the issues where a watcher is part of this group - "devops-team-members". No additional configuration on this webhook.

This is really weird. @Yuvaraj M did you test both create and update operation? Maybe during Create operation, the watchers are set after webhook is invoked.

@Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__Yes, I tested both create and update operation. I think what you said for the create operation looks like a valid point.

In the case of update operation, the watcher is already available on the jira issue, but the webhook is not working.
