Hello,

A user can add themselves as a watcher to a particular Jira item in the current next-Gen Project (Cloud-based).  

Any plans to allow a user to add another user as a watcher ??  This is supported is non-Next-Gen projects.

Recently we observed that users are deliberately changing the components in order to improve their team's reporting statistics.

That's odd, especially when these things are captured in change logs!

Anyways, have you considered putting them only on Create screen and maybe also in selected workflow screens?

Hi Jobin

Yes i have considered as an option.

I am also considering the option of capturing the component modifications with emails with a different subject , is anything possible on these lines?

Not without throwing custom events and writing custom email templates. Some dev work involved.
