How to import parent child hierarchy in jira datacenter

Rajat Krishnan
May 26, 2026

Hello,

I am trying to import a custom issue type called Workpackage and Activity where Workpackage is parent and Activity is child (also defined in hierarchy configuration under advanced roadmap)

Now here is my csv import file 

Issue keyIssue TypeSummaryCustom field (Parent Link)
QUOTE1-130ActivitySample Activity 1QUOTE1-129
QUOTE1-129WorkpackageSample Workpackage 1 
QUOTE1-101ActivityActivity 
QUOTE1-66WorkpackageWorkpackage tryout level 1 

Now while importing here is my mapping

Issue key - issue ID

Issue Type -Issue Type

Summary -  Summary

Custom field (Parent Link) - Parent ID

 

but on import, it imports everything except the relationship i.e. expectation is that QUOTE1-130 should come under QUOTE1-129 as child issue but it does not come

 

My Environment:

Jira v10.0.3 Datacenter

 

Please let me know what wrong i am doing here

 

Thanks in advance!!
