The Atlassian Community can help you and your team get more value out of Atlassian products and practices.
Hi Jira Community,
This is my first share, so excuse me if there is a better way/place to post it.
I thought it is good to share my experience with people (just like me) who might search on how to add an "Assignee" from a linked issue (the trigger for the automation) to be added as a "Watcher" in a new created ticket via JSM (Jira Service MGMT) Automation without being an assignee for the new ticket, I tried this and worked just fine when added to the watcher smart value the following value:
{{issue.issuelinks.inwardIssue.assignee}}
This worked fine with "Linked Issue" branch type as well.
