What are the steps to complete this? I need to auto assign a watcher based on custom field.

Why does this require credits to use such a basic feature? Like this isn't an advanced automation, it's a simple auto-assign that should be free.

@zeb This only works when you are adding a task, but not when editing say the title or description of the task. In that case, default watchers are still added. I would respectfully suggest that some enhancements are needed to cover all cases where a default watcher might be assigned. This could be done in automation if a trigger of "Task Change" was added.

Done!

Zeb: This allows you to ADD new watchers, but it does not OVERRIDE or REASSIGN the Watchers.
For those of us who were hoping this would be the fix for the persistent, unchangeable, unstoppable Automatic Addition of Random Watchers, it isn't.
We can add to the mess of Watchers that were involuntarily forced upon the Task but we have to manually go in and deselect the rogue Watchers for every single newly created task.

Hey Michael Sean Brown! This would be a different request. I completely agree and we're working on a way to remove yourself as a watcher from Space/Folder/List level. I suggest you vote on this request to stay updated 🙂

I've moved over from teamwork and they have the ability to set "global settings" on lists and tasks to auto assign a person and a due date. For instance, we have a "request" task list for clients to send requests and these lists are applicable to certain project managers. It would be great to have these auto assigned to the project manager with a due date of 2 days after the request is submitted

This feature is critical (imho). With the new Form View I'm not getting any notifications on submissions, so I'd love to be automatically set as a watcher on all new tasks on a particular list or board status (e.g. on all 'open' tasks). Currently I have to get team members to separately email me that they've submitted a form.

Any updates on this?
Ivan Villa
Maheen - VPComm: Hi Noshin! this is something we plan to roll out with our Automation feature. Right now we are working to get Our new Dashboard feature out the door and then we are switching gears to Automation :)

Ivan Villa: Dashboard was exciting. Looking forward to the automation features!

Ivan Villa: our team can't wait!!

Please also add the ability to automatically assign based on a status as well. This would be amazing as we have a backlog > delegate > review process that involves many people on a single board.
