How to get a list of watchers of issue by the workflow?

Hello,

I'm trying to change one of my attributes (field) on certain event, but keep getting "Cannot set value to custom field ".

rule FLOW
 when State.becomes({Fixed})
{
  message("well done");
  issue.FatherState={Resolved};
}

The first line (message) works, but the second isn't.
I tried to change to just "FatherState" and nothing happened.
"Resolved" is one of the enums for the certain field.

Can you please help me?

Thanks,
Etay

Dmitry is not right. You can get list of watchers using tags property. Watchers are simply 'Star' tags.

for each tag in issue.tags {
  if (tag.name == "Star") {
    var watcher = tag.owner;
    ... do what you want with watcher ...
  }
}

This code gets only the logged in user 'Star' tag but not all the 'Star' tags of watchers.

I'm afraid it's still not possible, please follow https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JT-11376 for updates. One possible way to do it is to issue a REST API request via workflow which will display all issue watchers.
