jira issue watchers add¶

• Usage: jira issue watchers add KEY... [flags]

Add a user as a watcher on one or more issues. Use --user me for the active profile, accountId:<id> for an exact Jira account, or an email when a live Jira lookup is acceptable.

Plain --dry-run is local-only and can resolve only me or accountId:<id> from local state. Add --validate-remote to make dry-run perform a read-only user lookup.

User¶

--user <IDENTIFIER>¶

User identifier (me / accountId:<id> / email)

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 watchers add PROJ-123 --user me # (1)!
jira issue watchers add PROJ-123 --user accountId:5b10ac8d82e05b22cc7d4ef5 # (2)!
jira issue watchers add PROJ-123 --user me --dry-run # (3)!
