Notification scheme that doesn't notify me for automated changes?

[Linda Schmandt]

I finally figured out how to use a conditional trigger to automatically set a watcher when an issue is created.  Yay!  However, it appears that Jira is now going to send me an email to tell me every time that trigger fires, because our notification scheme says I want to be notified when an issue changes.  NOT yay, especially since the solution involves setting a dummy field before I can set the value of the real Watcher field.   Is there any way to say I don't want to be notified of automated changes?   

Probably not, since the control of email notifications is so generally useless.  But can't hurt to ask! 

Thanks.

The problem went away when I determined that I could update the Watcher field directly with a trigger, rather than using an intermediate custom field as recommended in an earlier answer.   

FWIW, by "automated change", I meant something done by firing a trigger rather than by a person's manually making a change.

JIRA doesn't give that level of control. A change is a change regardless of how it was accomplished.

Hello,

What do you mean by "automated change"?
