Update and delete

Update

Section titled “Update”

Only fields supplied on the command line are changed:

Terminal window
lnr issue update PLT-123 --title "Updated title" --description "New details"
lnr issue update PLT-123 --team Platform --status Done --project "Release readiness"

Team, status, and project values may be names or IDs. lnr validates their relationships before updating Linear.

Clear a project explicitly:

Terminal window
lnr issue update PLT-123 --no-project

Delete

Section titled “Delete”
Terminal window
lnr issue delete PLT-123

lnr asks for confirmation. Automation must opt in to deletion:

Terminal window
lnr issue delete PLT-123 --force --json

Deletion requires LINEAR_API_KEY; Linear’s hosted OAuth service does not expose it.
