How do I star or favorite an issue?

[Sokhom Som _US_]

Can someone please explain how to star or favorite a JIRA issue?  I used to be able to do it in the old view and now in the new JIRA view I am unable to do so.

As a work around until the feature correctly exists (again), you can create a simple search that only returns the one issue of interest and star that.

Or a better solution is to create a search called starred with all the individual issues you want to keep special track of and star that

e.g.: issue in (BUG-1,BUG-5,TASK-7)

Hi @Sokhom Som _US_ , like you I've wanted to be able favorite an issue in Jira Cloud so I can track issues that I'm interested in using a personal collection.

We created a Jira Cloud app that allows you to add Issues to your own personal favorites list. Favorites are scoped to individual user accounts, so everyone on your team can favorite issues independently:

You can even create multiple personal favorites lists to further categorize Issues that are relevant to you. You can also search for issues that you've assigned to your personal custom favorites lists using JQL.

The app is called Issue Star, and you can find it here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1234079

Try the app out, and let us know what you think. Thanks!

You can't favorite an individual issue. You can favorite filters, dashboards. You can Watch an issue you are interested in and you can quickly view all Watched issues. You could add a label to issues you might be interested in (ugly IMO).

You used to be able to favorite issues about 3 months ago.  I have a whole view of issues that I've favorited.  Did they just take this feature away entirely now?

I am not aware of this capability. Could you share a screenshot that demonstrates?

@Sokhom Som _US_ That's not native in Jira though, is it?
