How to add watcher list to email templates?

[Kevin Dalton]

We are working to modify our email templates and have included all the system fields at the bottom of each notification but user are asking to get a list of watchers as well.  Is this possible?  If so some assistance would be helpful.

Hi Kevin,

You can use "Copy a parsed text to a field post-function" of JIRA Workflow Toolbox add-on in order to compose a text with the names of the watchers, and set a text custom field with it. Then you can include that field in your emails templates.

I show you the configuration you should use:

Text to be parsed is:

"Current issue watchers are:" + toString(textOnStringList(toStringList(%{00133}), " " + userFullName(^%)))

Note that %{00133} is field code for Watchers.

Regards,
