I have a Jira group setup with 5 names. I would like to be able to collect those names and store them in a custom variable.

I would then use the smart value to add them to the watchers list and in the context of messages.

 

Is this possible?

 

I noticed that I am able to send an email to a Jira group natively, but I cannot add a group as watchers on an issue. I'm trying to work around this limitation.

You could do this using the Send web request action to the REST endpoint for groups to get the members, and then add them to the field.
