Adding multiple users to the watchlist at once

Dubz

Hi All,

 

I'm wondering if there is a way to add multiple users to the watchlist at once? At the moment, when you open the reference field to the user table you can only select one user. I want to have the tick boxes available on each row so i can run list context UI actions to add multiple users at once. Has anyone done this who can advise?

 

Cheers

Dave

The popup cannot be configured. But what about the Add/Remove multiple option?

I don't know of a way to do this in the standard UI - it's not configurable in that way. You may be able to do this with service portal widget of your own creation - possible involving a third party library. And you could potentially do this with a many to many related list, and then take those values added to the related list and put them into your watchlist using a script. Kind of complex and customized - I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm really not sure how i've managed to miss that option for the whole year and a bit that i've been working with Service Now. Thanks Jochen for seeing what my eyes failed to pick up!
