Watchers

Manages the available issue watchers in Jira. Supports querying, inserting, and deleting watchers.

Table-Specific Information

SELECT

The connector uses the Jira API to process filters based on the IssueId and IssueKey columns. The connector processes all other filters client-side.

You must specify an IssueId or IssueKey to retrieve results.

For example, the following queries are processed server-side:

SELECT * FROM Watchers WHERE IssueId = '10100';
SELECT * FROM Watchers WHERE IssueKey = 'PRJ-1';

INSERT
