Hi,
I am new to JIRA Migration. Planning to import content from clear quest to JIRA Cloud.
Started the same with CSV Import method . Tried importing most of the fields except "History". Can any one pls let me know how to import history field to Jira cloud?
You cannot import issue history, the only history you can import are dates. I would suggest to add the historical data as a comment to each issue that is imported.
I have many more projects and issues to import into Jira. What exactly does it mean - "add the historical data as a comment to each issue" - You want me add it manually to issues before doing CSV Import?
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
You need to modify your csv file to also include a column for the history of the issue, and then when you do the mapping for the import set the history column to be imported as a comment.
Since ClearQuest exports the history in a separate file you would have to combine that with the file that has your issues.

Yes. ClearQuest exports history in a file but the issue is we can have multiple history records for one issue. I am just thinking how to combine these history records in the file that has issues. Is there any script to combine multiple records in one cell for one defect?
Pls confirm..

You would have to create that script. I used a Perl script to do it when I migrated from ClearQuest to Jira years ago, but we did not bring over the history since it was decided to keep one license for ClearQuest so we could have read only access to the history if needed.

Unfortunately I cannot give you the file, but the basics of the script would be to read the ClearQuest data including the history, combine them and then generate a new csv file that has all the data you want to import, including the history.
