What activity triggers a JIRA issue to be 'watched'?

[Brendan Andrews]

There is an autowatch toggle in user preferences. (See the screenshot below)

Where it's toggled to 'enabled' what activity on an issue causes you to become a watcher of it?

Brendan,

This is generally interacting with the issue. Creating, Commenting, uploading a document, logging work, etc. This by default will add you to the "watchers" role.

Thanks Andrew, that sounds sensible. I've got a followup I'll ask separately.
