Can I import objects into an existing object type in schema tree?

[Stella Aversa]

Hi! I am exporting objects from one schema and importing them into another. However, when I import the objects, it creates a new object type (not sure if this is the right terminology) instead of putting the imported objects into the EXISTING object type. Is there a way I can import the new objects into the already-existing object type?

Thank you so much!

Hi, @Stella Aversa 

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Are you importing data in JSON format? If yes, then you can map object types manually. 
For this - you must disable auto creation of object types.

Hi, @Evgenii, thank you for the warm welcome!

I am exporting data from another schema and importing it from a CSV file. Does the same apply even if I am importing with CSV and not JSON?

When I disable the option to automatically create object types, how do I then make the imports "go" to the existing object type after that?

Thank you so much! Cheers,

Stella

In CSV import logic is the same. Disable automated creation. 
Then, in created import configure mapping between objects in CSV and objects in existing schema

I did that, but the object type I want to put the new objects into don't have 1-to-1 attributes if that makes sense. Will that impact anything? Even when I do the disable automated creation it doesn't show up in the object type I want it to go into.
