Create Epics and Tasks simultaneously using CSV Importer

[Steven_Choiniere]

Hi, 

I am curious if there is way to create epics and tasks simultaneously using the CSV Importer, in the sense of creating a new epic, along with it's associated tasks (which will then be assigned to the epic created at the same time). 

We are trying to streamline to process of using the CSV importer to create epics, then importing again to assign the associated tasks to the newly created epics. Wondering if we can do all of that in one import. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you,

Hi @Steven_Choiniere 

Please note that the Epic to Story relation is a specific type of link. 

With that in mind you can import them as normal linked issues.
