With the new issue layout in Jira, how do I see the list of watchers?

[Mark Ferbert]

I used to be able to hover over a button to see a list of all of the current 'watchers' of an issue.  Now I can only either watch or stop watching.  I don't see a way to view the list of all people watching the issue.

Hello Mark,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

As you may know, the new issue view is still a lab feature on JIRA, so our developers are still working to implement some features to it, including the Watcher's list and the ability to add other users as watchers.

That been said, we have created a new feature request so they can receive our customer's feedback and let you know about any updates:

- Allow to add other users as Watchers and see the Watcher List in the New Issue View

Please, vote and watch this feature request in order to increase its impact and receive any updates about it.

@Mark Ferbert, the permissions to View Voters and Watchers might be missing for you. Please add the required permissions and you should be able to see the watchers list
