Option to copy watchers when copying issues
Added by Hisham Al-Shurafa almost 13 years ago.

Description
Steps to repro:
1) Copy an issue
2) In the copy screen, set the project of the issue to a different issue
3) Click Copy and follow
The issue is copied, but the WATCHERS of the issue are not. This seems like a bug.
I'm using the latest Redmine 3.2 stable.
Should it be a "Feature" instead of a "Defect"?
Sometimes I just need to use a issue as a template, so I don't want to copy watchers.
In my opinion, current behavior is OK.
However, an additional "copy watchers" checkbox or button is also welcome :-)

It should be optional, as fangzheng mentioned. Maybe with a configurable default value?

Feature added in r16509.
When copying a single issue, the original watchers are preselected, you can unselect them.
When bulk copying issues a new checkbox is added to copy watchers.
In both cases, the user gets this option only if he is allowed to add watchers.
