First of all: Thanks for taking out a lot of the pain of interacting with Jira! 😄
Then, for my idea: I tried to do some wrangling on the (plain-text) output of your software by using column, the old trusty Unix tool. Sadly, the jira-cli's output isn't clean enough, so the columns get messed up, their content is all weirdly mixed & generally all over the place. I'm not an expert in the use of column, so it's possible that I miss something here. But I'd be so glad if I could further query the output on my side e.g. to do some scripting, if that makes any sense.
My first, simple suggestion would be to put in some delimiters between the columns other than blank spaces, like in a markdown table. That way, I could split the result on that delimiter myself and would probably be done with it.
If that's possible, you could alternatively try to approximate the way other Unix tools structure their output so that it can be more easily be converted into a query-able table.
Again, I'm already a happy user and would only be more happy if my proposal is of any interest. :)
