What does the component watcher field does in screen

[vishal03kadam]

Have raised much concern about the component watcher on the community but didn't got my answer. So would like to know what it does and then whether it is useful for my problem.

@vishal03kadamYes  you  have this Plugin installed  its  a free application and if you  are log in as  JIRA admin  go to  JIRA  Adons,  then look  for  this  plugin,  i have configured  this  plugin  and  i  know  what  it does,   you  can  configure   the  watchers   of  any  component which  you  created  in your  Jira  project in  project setting  and  Component watchers will only get notified on events with the "All Watchers" notification type associated to them. This  means  that  what  ever you  define  for "All watchers" in  the notification  schemes its  the same  notification component  watchers  will get  when any  event is  performed  on an  issue( like updated,  commented, moved and so on ..)

To  this you  will   need to  create  a custom  field let  say  component  watcher  of the type Component Watchers Field Type  and  then add it to  any  screen  you  want it  to  appear in the project.

My expectation is "Name of the component watcher should be displayed like you have Reporter name: Vishal Kadam"
