In the new version of Jira, the functionality looks to be removed whereas I am no longer allowed to add my teammates as a watcher to tickets. I can only watch/unwatch a ticket myself. This is critical for my team. Will this be returned or did it move elsewhere?

@Chad Schexnayder Which version of JIRA are you using? Did you check that you have "Manage Watchers" permission in your JIRA project?

Hi @Chad Schexnayder,

To manage watchers is a permission,  maybe this has been changed. If you are an admin,  you could check yourself, who does the manage watchers permission has, if not, ask your admin to check this.
