Currently, watchers are not copied when copying a record and there isn't an option to add watchers in the release template settings.
It would be helpful to have the option to copy a release from the parking lot with the set of watchers, or include watchers part of the release template. This would help prevent the need to manually add the same set of users as watchers on each release.
This is great idea and would be really useful to us.
Having to manually add watchers to each newly created release is a big overhead for us and opens the potential for human error. Being able to define default group of watchers to automatically add to each new release record would be great. This could be applied at a workspace or workspace line level with inheritance.
