Update user history of viewed issues through REST API

[Niklas Wolff]

Hey,

is it possible to update the user history of viewed issues through the REST API when i get some issues over GET /rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}? In the documentations i can't find any possible parameters to set the 'lastViewed' property of an issue for the current user.

In the jira cloud documentation (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/) is an parameter called 'updateHistory' for the request. Unfortunately we use the server version and after some attempts this parameter does nothing.

Have someone any ideas to set this property? 

Thanks, Niklas.

Looks like there are no any options to change issue history through REST API.

Mmh.. that sounds not really good. We need that functionality to mark issues as unread in our client program. I was hoping that this would possible because the user history is updated in the normal jira webapplication if an issue was shown.
