Feature #38238

Auto watch issues on issue creation
0%
Description
Similar to #4347 we propose adding an option to watch issues the user created. This would allow users to more finely control which issues they want to be notified about rather than having to select the "only owner" or "only my events" and receiving notifications for all the issues the user created. This will also allow in the future to replace the mail notification options with only having auto watching options.

The attached patch adds a new option to auto watch issues the user creates. This option is activated for users that already have the issues contributed to auto watch option active.

We have noticed an issue when this option is activated and the author adds themself as a watcher to the new issue when creating it. This updated patch adds a test for this case and fixes this issue.

I am sorry for the trouble but we have noticed a lot of issues with the callback structure in the proposed patch. We have reworked the feature to use a after_create_commit callback so that the issue is already saved when the automatic watcher is added and top avoid the issue not getting saved because of errors in the callbacks. Adding automatic watchers is not a core feature of issues and thus should not block creating the issue.
I will post an updated patch shortly.

Please see the updated attached patch. As previously summarised this removes adding the automatic watcher from the issue transaction so that this does not interfere with creating the issue.
We have also added a patch to never auto watch for the anonymous user. Due to the anonymous getting new UserPreference each time the anonymous user is used the default UserPreference will be used, which includes auto watching new issues and issue edits. This should be fixed with a better UserPreference for the anonymous user, but this is outside the scope of this issue.
