How to Link JIRA from Import issues from CSV

[Giridhar Naik]

I use CSV file for bulk task creation. I would like to know if we have any option to link the existing JIRA ID's to the newly created JIRA ID's from CSV

Hello @Giridhar Naik

If you are talking about "Issue links" then you can link your tickets in CSV with existing JIra issues. Please see this documentation

The process for importing Issue Link through CSV is similar to importing of Sub-tasks, as described in Importing Data from CSV: one column must be mapped as Issue ID and the other as the desired link type (e.g. "Link 'relates to'"). The 'Link' column needs to have a value corresponding to the other issue 'Issue Id' value, or it needs to be an issue key of already existing issue within the JIRA instance to which the data is being imported. For example:

Hello Tarun,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I m looking for "Issue links".

I wanted a Parent-> Sub-Task link only (But not an actual Sub-task) which i am not getting with this example.

I tried "Parent ID" and 'Links "Parent"'. I need some thing like 'Link "Sub-task' which is not available.
