Not been able to add wachers with a role having "Issues created by or assigned to the user"

Added by Sergei Naumov 6 months ago

Hi!
I have a group of users that got "Issues created by or assigned to the user" in their role. Users visibility is set to "All active users". When one creates an issue such users can be added as watchers but after an issue is already created such users are not visible anymore when one, even an Admin, tries to add them to an issue. Why is that?

I am running Redmine 5.1.2... Thanks in advance!

You can add watchers to existing issues from the issue sidebar. When clicking on Add there, the members of the current project which can be assigned as watchers are shown there. You can also add other users by searching for their name in the add watches form.

This is exactly the question, I am trying to add watchers from the sidebar and users that have a role with "Issues created by or assigned to the user" are not listed there. Besides, if I make "All issues" in their role, they appear in the list and can be added. If I make them "Issues created by or assigned to the user" again, redmine tells me that this user does not have an access to the object.

In other words, why does it let me add watchers with this role when creating an issues but does not allow to do it for an already existing issue? If it works the way it is supposed to then how do I make a role for users to see only issues they are assigned to or watchers of?
