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.

--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

--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 schema for the full machine-readable schema.

results[].error object Fields: code, field, flag, hint, http_status, message, …
results[].issue object Present when ok is true.
