If a watcher couldn't be added at creation, the issue is still created, and the agent is told to retry with this tool rather than open a second issue. * **Name people the way you know them.** Use an email address or display name. On Jira Cloud you can also use `accountId:`, and on Jira Data Center `username:`. Inactive users and names that match more than one person are rejected. To have an agent add the same people every time, say so in its **Backstory**, for example: "When creating a Jira issue, use the Jira tools to add these watchers: [alex@example.com](mailto:alex@example.com), [sam@example.com](mailto:sam@example.com)." If the agent uses a tools allowlist, add `add_jira_watchers` to it. Watchers are available to agents, not to the Code IDE copilot. See [Jira tool](/products/dino-ai/tools-and-features/jira-tool).
