Cloning Issues and Keeping Watchers

[Kristen Viscardi]

We ran into a slightly different issue—we cloned a ticket that was previously created so the watchers were not copied over.  After the ticket was cloned, then the watchers were re-added.  In this case, we did not receive the email that the Jira ticket was created.  Can the watchers be included when cloning tickets? Or can an email be sent after a watcher is added to an already created ticket?

Hello, this add-on can help: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ru.andreymarkelov.atlas.plugins.multiple-cloner

Is there a version of this plugin that would work with JIRA 6.2.7? Thanks!

There is an open feature request to notify on adding watchers at: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-5494

The ability to clone watchers is being tracked at: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-28038 which is really just a sub topic of: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-1558

Your option here would be to create a custom plugin to accomplish this.
