jira

Use `jira issue create` with flags like -t for type, -s for summary, and -b for description. For multi-line descriptions, write the content to a file in /tmp first and pass it with $(cat /tmp/file), since the CLI mishandles raw multi-line strings.

Run `jira issue move ISSUE-KEY "Done"` to transition an issue. Always fetch the issue first, because workflows may require intermediate states and transition names like Done or Closed vary by project.

Yes, jira-cli supports raw JQL through `jira issue list -q"your query"`. You can also combine simpler filters like status, assignee, priority, labels, and created date without writing full JQL.

The --no-input flag fails silently when required project fields are missing. Check the project's required fields first and supply them via flags or --custom key=value pairs before using non-interactive mode.

Jira has no undo for description edits, so the original content must be shown before replacing it. Bulk modifications also trigger notifications to watchers, so each change requires explicit approval.
