When running the JIRA Cloud CSV import process I want to map issues and link using the "Blocks" issue link type, is this possible?
@David Tieman , how are you ?
You can use something like this in your CSV file
Key | Summary | Blocks | Blocks | Clones |
Example01 | Summary01 | Example03 | Example02 | |
Example02 | Summary02 | Example01 | ||
Example03 | Summary03 | Example01 | Example02 |
Here is the tutorial if you have more doubts

Thank you for this link, I had also found this information but I read this as for Data Center / Server only and we are in a Cloud tenant of JIRA. I haven't tried this yet to see if this solution would work in my Cloud environment but will attempt this solution. Thank You

@David Tieman , to import CSV in Cloud or Server/DC is the same thing :)
First you need to import your default issues
ID | Summary |
1 | Summary01 |
2 | Summary02 |
3 | Summary03 |
After this, you need to get de Keys and organizer your CSV file basead in your keys
Key | Summary | Blocks | Blocks | Clones |
SSP-1 | Summary01 | SSP-2 | SSP-3 | |
SSP-2 | Summary02 | SSP-1 | ||
SSP-3 | Summary03 | SSP-2 | SSP-1 |
In the importer you need to map this infos
Then after updating, you will get this result
In the issue SSP-25

just to add to Carlos' great answer: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, another option might be the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.
JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields - including your issue links - much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also supports bulk editing via copy/paste - within JXL, but also between JXL and any other app, including Excel or Google Sheets.
With this, you can easily import issue links from a CSV file, like so:
Whether this is easier than the native bulk import somewhat depends on your data format. It's also worth noting that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.
Any questions just let me know,
Best,
Hannes
