Add user to CC list with create issue post function

[srinivasp]

I am trying to add user to cc list using groovy thru Create Issue Post function. I tried setting with watcherManager but I am getting GenericEntityException, JIRA is 6.2.2 and MySql db

try{
WatcherManager watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager();
watcherManager.startWatching(jiraUser, issue);
}catch (GenericEntityException e){
	log.error("There was an error adding user to CC List", e);
}

I tried other way setting CC list custom field but this is also not working

CustomField ccListCustomField = customFldMgr.getCustomFieldObjectByName("CC List");
def users=issue.getCustomFieldValue(ccListCustomField);
if(users == null){
	users = new ArrayList<User>();
}
users.add(jiraUser);
mi.setCustomFieldValue(ccListCustomField , users);

I moved the my post function next to "Creates the issue originally" step and it started working.
