jira issue watch¶

• Usage: jira issue watch KEY... [flags]

Start watching one or more issues as the current user. This is a shortcut for jira issue watchers add --user me.

Plain --dry-run is local-only and does not contact Jira. Add --validate-remote when you want a read-only check that the current user can be resolved before the live mutation.

Safety¶

--dry-run¶

Local preview only — does not contact Jira

Validation¶

--no-readback¶

Skip the post-mutation GET

--validate-remote¶

Resolve --user against Jira (read-only); use with --dry-run

Execution¶

-p --parallelism <N>¶

Maximum concurrent requests (1-16)

Default: 1

Examples¶

jira issue watch PROJ-123 # (1)!
jira issue watch PROJ-123 --dry-run # (2)!

1. Start watching an issue
2. Preview watching an issue
