How to auto remove a single watcher in Jira?

[Jason Liu]

We have a local account who's creating a lot of issues in Jira. But this account doesn't have real email address. So we want to auto remove it from the watcher list when creating the issues. We have script runner and JSU plug-ins. I want to know if these plug-ins can do this.

Hi @Jason Liu,

Hope you are doing well. 

Assuming you can log in as that user,

Navigate to Profile (Top right corner) > Preferences and disable the auto watch option.

For the issues that the user is already watching, You can go to issue navigator, run a JQL, watcher = "<the user>" > Tools > Bulk change > Stop watching the issues. 

Hope this helps :)
