How do I import an excel sheet to automatically create an issue on a PM board?

[Eric Wray]

I have a department that has several hundred tickets that I am trying to import onto their project board. Is there an existing API or import tool where I can determine a specific column in a list of several hundred rows populates separate areas of tasks rather than manually creating individual issues and customizing them accordingly?

Example:

Summary	Priority	SR#	Reporter
Issue Title	1	123456	Bob

The data above would populate a task on a Project Management Board

Title: ((summary)+(SR#))

Priority: High

Assignee: N/A

Reporter: bobjoe@companyemail.com

With additional rows, separate tasks would automatically be generated.
