Import GitLab Issues into Jira

[rklahn-pan]

Im trying to import GitLab issues into Jira, without much success so far. Has anyone successfully performed such a migration?

I have tried to export GitLab issues into CSV, and then followed https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Importing+Data+from+CSV , but unfortunately the CSV export does not include comments or attachments, which is a showstopper for me. 

Any pointers or feedback would be welcome. Thanks. Bob.

Hey Bob, we ended up with the same problem around the restrictions of the CSV export/import and ended up writing our own Atlassian Connect plugin and opensourcing it here: https://github.com/SimeonC/jira-gitlab-seneschal. Though this is for Jira Cloud it might be easy to adapt it to run on the server - depending on any API differences.

It still has some bugs that aren't fixed yet - for example the Description Format changed recently I think so that'll need an update. We did manage to get all comments and attachments ported over this way though.

Hello Bob, are you sure your CSV is well-formed?
