Currently there is no way to set the notifyUsers flag as defined here https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/#api-rest-api-2-issue-issueIdOrKey-put This makes every automatic change trigger an email notification, which can be really annoying in automatic usage.
We are also interested in this feature. In our pipeline we update automatically the jenkins build details in the corresponding Jira tickets mentioned in the git commit messages.
Yes, we really need this to avoid notification noise for automated build status changes. IMHO this is not a minor improvement.
We use in our pipeline script the jiraEditIssue command.
