 ## Breaking changes in this release
 
+- **`field options` is removed.** It called a Jira 9 endpoint and returned 404 for every field on Jira 8.x. Jira scopes a custom field's options to a context, so there is no context-free replacement — use `issue createmeta --project <key> --type <name>` (create screen), `issue editmeta <key>` (edit screen), or `issue transitions <key>` (transition screen).
+- **`issue transitions` no longer reports `required`** on screen fields. Jira reports field-configuration requiredness there, which cannot see the workflow validator that actually gates the transition, so it returned `false` for fields that then rejected the transition. Supply everything in a transition's `fields` block. (`required` from `createmeta`/`editmeta` reflects field configuration and is reliable.)
+- **`issue get` / `issue search` return issue-picker custom fields as a bare key string** (or an array of keys) instead of the whole nested issue. `fields.customfield_NNNNN.key` becomes `fields.customfield_NNNNN`.
+- **`issue create --custom-fields` is now `--fields`**, matching `issue update`. The old name still works as a deprecated alias.
+- **Argument mistakes now exit 2/3/6** (`usage`/`not_found`/`auth`) instead of 1.
 - `issue transitions` now returns a bare JSON array of transitions (previously wrapped in `{ transitions: [...] }`). Each transition is reduced to `{ id, name, to, fields? }` — verbose fields like `to.iconUrl`, `to.statusCategory`, `isGlobal`, `isInitial`, `isConditional`, `hasScreen` are stripped.
 - `component list` now requires `--project <key>` instead of a positional `<projectKey>` argument.
 - `issue link-epic` is now variadic on the issue argument: `link-epic <issueKey...> --epic <epicKey>`. Single-issue calls keep working.
