Description

Currently, you have to go to the detail page of an issue if you want to see the list of watchers.

I think it would be nice if Redmine shows watchers for each issue on the issues list. With this feature. This feature is a bit similar to #25515.

Looking at watchers at index is useful for knowing issues that users are interested in.

Applying this patch will allow you to add a watchers column with issues / index.
Issue#visible_watchers checks the :view_issue_watchers permission and displays only watchers that can be viewed.

I think this column gets really messy if you have 10 or more watchers on the list.
I'd also argue that this information isn't useful by any means. Perhaps the count of watchers but not the entire list.

that's indeed useful (and if not, well then do not add this column to your issues list :)

Maybe watcher count, but to show list of watchers in the tool-tip whenever rolling over the number of watchers. The same tool-tip which is used in the gantt or calendar.

You can apply the patch with a command like this:

patch -p1 < feature-29894.patch

However, since this patch was written two years ago, I'm not sure if it will work for the current Redmine.

We have tried working on this feature but have noticed different behaviours regarding especially watchers and watcher groups regarding different parts of the UI. We will create additional tickets for these issues.

Regarding the attached patch, we have decided to currently follow exactly the model of the watcher list in the sidebar of a single issue view: If you have the view_issue_watchers permission for a project you can see all watchers, if you do not have the permission you cannot see any watchers. This decision was made to avoid introducing an additional different behaviour from other places handling watchers, and because you can already check which issues you watch yourself using the "Watcher: me" filter.

Other issues that might be relevant to this discussion:
- #40411 users currently cannot always see if they watch an issue because of a group membership
- #40412 users currently cannot filter by watched by group membership if they do not have the view_issue_watchers permission
