      Atlassian Update – 28 May 2018

      Hi everyone,

      We have recently reviewed this issue and the overall interest in the problem. As the issue hasn't collect votes, watchers, comments, or support cases from many customers during its lifetime, it's very low on our priority list, and will not be fixed in the foreseeable future. That's why we've decided to resolve it as Time Out.

      Although we're aware the issue is still important to those of you who were involved in the conversations around it, we want to be clear in managing your expectations. The Jira team is focusing on issues that have broad impact and high value, reflected by the number of comments, votes, support cases, and customers interested. Please consult the Atlassian Bugfix Policy for more details.

      We understand how disappointing this decision may be, but we hope you'll appreciate our transparent approach and communication.
      Atlassian will continue to watch this issue for further updates, so please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

      Thank you,
      Ignat Alexeyenko

    Description

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Using IE 8 or 9, access a JIRA issue while logged-in as a user that doesn't have 'Manage Watchers' permission for the issue's project.
      2. Click the watchers button, to attempt to add a watcher.

      Expected Results

      You should get a screen which doesn't give you a prompt to Add Watchers.

      Actual Results

      • In IE 8 or 9, you get the following instead prompting to Add Watchers
      • Also the dialog appears to be a bit broken as some text is visible saying 'false', and the box drops below a bit as can be seen on the screenshot below.

      Note that although you get the dialog to add to or edit the watchers list, the permission works correctly as it doesn't allow you to modify the watchers list. You get an appropriate error as the following if you try to do so.
