Would it be possible to add a boolean field isWatched to RemoteIssue and to the RSS feed returned from the navigator?

For jira-dashboard i would like to add a watched decorator to issues that are being watched. This flag would also allow me to add a watch/unwatch action. Currently I have no way of knowing if an issue is already being watched by the user, so the action can't be context sensitive.

Brock,

Yes, we can extend the RPC API so that watchers of an issue can be determined.

I'm not sure if that is what you're after through. What do you mean by "watched decorator"? Do you have your own portlet on the dashboard?

Cheers,
Jeff

Jeff,
I am writing an eclipse plugin that mimicks the function of the web dashboard (creatively called jira dashboard). The main view is a list of all issues that match a certain filter and a set of workflow actions to operate on the issues in the list. Being a rich client, the actions need to be context sensitive. If the actions enable and disable but the user has no idea why, they may get confused. That is why i wanted to overlay one of the icons (probably the issue type) with a pair of glasses to indicate if it is being actively watched or not.

Thanks,
Brock
