How to link an issue to an epic in Jira CLI?

When creating an issue using Bob Swift Jira CLI, I see no parameter that allows me to link the issue to an existing EPIC.

How can I link an issue (upon creation) to an epic in Jira CLI?

Welcome to the community.

I have not used the CLI before, but have you tried using the parent parameter to specify the Epic to which you want to add the issue?

In Cloud the Epic Link is a custom field so you can just use the "field" parameter like this:

jira --action createIssue --project TP --issueType Story --summary "Test CLI" --field "Epic Link=TP-130"
