When i try to use the watcher in the filter on issues, the list is only showing <<Me>>, so i can only filter issues watched by Me or not watched by Me.

It's a true issue indeed, although it is not a defect looking at the way the "watched_by_me"-filter feature has been implemented in revision r2456 for feature #846; I've changed the tracker and subject accordingly.

#3 Updated by Mischa The Evil over 6 years ago

Added issue-relation to defect #4501. This feature once was available through URL-mangling.

I am not sure if this "hidden-feature" is available any longer in current Redmine source (read: quick test on rm.o didn't produced the described behaviour in defect #4501).

Has this really been a candidate for the next minor release for more than two years? It gets my vote if it makes a difference. =)

We have 9 people here who also give their vote for this... :-/

The same behavior we have in Redmine 2.5.1. Do you plan to fix it? Another watcher, except "me", cannot be added to the filter. In that case the filter "Watcher is" doesn't deliver its functionality.

It seems that this behavior is intention since even with new update redmine 2.6.6 there is no change.
So if you want to change it here is the manual patch
In app/models/issue_query.rb, find the following lines

    if User.current.logged?
      add_available_filter "watcher_id",
        :type => :list, :values => [["<< #{l(:label_me)} >>", "me"]]
    end

remove them completely and replace with

    watcher_values = []
    watcher_values << ["<< #{l(:label_me)} >>", "me"] if User.current.logged?
    watcher_values += users.collect{|s| [s.name, s.id.to_s] }
    add_available_filter("watcher_id",
      :type => :list, :values => watcher_values
    ) unless watcher_values.empty?

Restart redmine and you have other members in the watcher list

Is possible have this fix in 3.3.2 version ?
It's a great limits
Thanks

#14 Updated by Immanuel Wilhelmy 6 months ago

We use extended_watchers plugin to allow watchers restricted issue access. This feature would be extremely helpful to get an overview who can access (=is watching) which issue.

Thanks
