Error When Trying To Import Issues Into JIRA

John Bacon July 27, 2022

I'm trying to bulk import issue into JIRA.  Everything comes back fine after I click validate, but then when I proceed to import, I get a fatal error occurred message.  My local tech people can't seem to figure out whats causing the error.  Below is the error output log.  Anyone know what the error log info points to a specific issue?

@John Bacon The most common reason this occurs is because of a workflow validator.  Here is an article with information on other reasons it could be failing https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/csv-import-fails-with-fatal-error-during-import-in-jira-1027125241.html
