How do you subscribe to a specific work item within a project area and not all work items in a project area?

The following page has how to make a list of users the default "subscribed by" value but it does it for all the work items within a project area not just one.
See #5: Link to how to auto subscribe


Does anyone know how to make this specific to just one work item?

Thanks,
Jeff

I've modified the question to clarify that it is about a work item type, not an individual work item.

there is no simple mechanism to do what you want. As you found there is a simple mechanism for ALL workitem types, and a fixed list of users..

Thanks Sam. Do you know a non-simple way to do it?

Go to the Links tab of the Work Item you want to subscribe to and add your user name in the Subscribers section.

Hope this helps!

Sorry my question is missing the word "auto" before subscribe.
I want to set it so that whenever a user creates a specific work item type the list of users will be automatically subscribed.

I got this to work and thought everything was ok until I realized that the "subscribed by" default was applied to all the different work item types not just the one I wanted it applied to. I just need to know how to get it to auto subscribe (upon creation of a work item) to just one work item type and not to all within the project area,

Hope the above makes more sense.
