jira assign

Assign a Jira Issue to another user via an interactive selection menu.

Usage

fns-cli jira assign [issue-key]

Arguments

ArgumentDescription
issue-keyOptional. The Jira issue key (e.g. FCLI-5712 or just 5712). If omitted, inferred from the current git branch name.

Flags

FlagDescription
-h, --helpShow help

How it works

  1. Resolves the issue key (from argument or current branch name).
  2. Displays the current issue summary, type, status, reporter and assignee.
  3. Fetches all users assignable to that issue.
  4. Presents an interactive selection list to choose a user.
  5. Assigns the issue and displays the updated issue info.

Tips

  • If your branch name follows the pattern PROJECT-1234-description, the issue key is inferred automatically — no argument needed.
  • You can pass just the numeric ID (e.g. 5712) and the default project key from config will be used.
