Does JSON importer supports epic assignment?

[Kenny Chiang]

Hi,

I am trying import issues with JSON. I need to import some issues as child issues of an exising issue of Epic type. I tried adding a "parent" attribute and the issue key/id as value to achieve that but the importer appears does not consume the attribute. My sample json excerpt is like below:

{

    projects: [

       {

           "key" : "ASP",

           "issues": [

               {

                 "summary": "Task 1 in the test epic",

                 "externalId": "12345",

                 "parent": {

                     "key": "ASP-1"

                 }

               }

           ]

    ]

}

I also tried assigning the parent directly like below but still not working:
      "parent": "ASP-1"
