Unwanted Object Types | Asset Discovery Import to Jira Cloud

[Tim_Borgardt]

I am using the Asset Discovery software and importing the data into Jira Cloud. During the import process, new object types are being created automatically, even though they are not defined in the XML file (Pattern is bare minimum). I only need the data from the XML and want it to be inserted into my already defined object types, without Jira creating new ones.

Has anyone experienced this issue or knows why Jira Cloud creates these default object types during import?

Hi @Tim_Borgardt ,

Welcome to Atlassian community and thank you for your question.

Those objects type (Discovery, Scan Settings, Scan information, Collector) contain audit info related the scans operation of your assets. they could be useful in order to have more info about assets, like the time when the assets has been scanned, if all the scan were sucessfully and so on.

Are not very important, but they could be useful.

If you want them, you could disable the import in the following way:

1. As a Asset admin, go to Assets Schemas list
2. ... -> Settings in the interested schema and select "Import"
3. Clicking on "Edit Mapping" appears the entir list of imported object types
4. Click on "disable" to imports not required.

Please flag as correct reply if it has been useful.

Kind regards
