jira issue view¶
- Usage:
jira issue view KEY... [flags]
Fetch one or more issues with rendered fields, names, schema, transitions, and operations expanded. Use it when you need the full issue context before editing, commenting, or transitioning.
--fields narrows the fetched payload to the named fields, matching the selector on jira search jql. A narrowed read skips the transitions, operations, and editmeta expansions — omit --fields when you need the edit context.
--web opens a single issue URL and does not call Jira beyond reading the configured base URL. Multiple issue keys are fetched with bounded parallelism and return partial results when some keys fail.
Output¶
--fields <FIELD>…¶
Narrow each issue to these fields, comma-separated [example: summary,status,assignee]
--web¶
Open the issue in a browser instead of printing it
Execution¶
-p --parallelism <N>¶
Maximum concurrent requests (1-16)
Default: 1
Output fields¶
With --output json, the response envelope's data object carries these fields. Run jira agent schema for the full machine-readable schema.
