How do I stop watching all issues in a project?

[Daniela Boninelli]

I used to work on a particular project but I no longer do. How do I stop watching ALL the issues in that project?

[Daniela Boninelli · Accepted solution]

Click on the “profile” icon button on top right of nav bar and navigate to “Issue Navigator”:

Type the following into the search bar in Issue Navigator:    project = "???????" AND watcher = currentUser() and hit enter. Replace ?????? with your project name

Then choose the “Tools” button on the top right and select “All 124 issues”

Then click the check box next to “Summary” to select all issues and then press “Next”

Then select “Stop watching issues” and hit next.

Viola! 😊

Thanks for this. Truly works. Luckily I had that level of access.

Hi @Daniela Boninelli,

You can achieve this using bulk transition.

If you have "bulk edit" permission (it's a global permission), then you can run a filter for "project = X" (or even "I am a watcher" or whatever else), bulk edit the results and remove yourself as a watcher from everything.
