Script Based Default Values and User Lists
I have read this article, IBM: How to Automatically add users as subscribers and I had some ideas. Is it possible to use Script Based Default Values for this? I would like to dynamically create this list of default subscribers based on the Project Area or Team Area Member list.
Say I have a database team and an UI team. When a Work Item is created for the Database team I want to add ALL the members of database team as subscribers to the ticket. Since the membership can change over time I cannot rely on maintaining a User List default value. I would like instead to, create a script that grabs the list of members of the Database Team area and make them subscribers.
One answer
I don't believe this is available via JavaScript due to the limitations on what APIs/values are accessible in JavaScript.
I think you could write a server-side plugin which, upon creation, look at the team, go load that team, and add each member as a subscriber. We do something similar but by role (so it subscribes everyone who has a given role at the project area level) to a newly-created work item based on certain criteria.
