Import issues into existing Project

[Alejandro Guillen]

Hello,

Under the old import experience, I can use a csv to import multiple issues into an existing Project. However, under the new import experience, it seems like I'm required to set up a new Project when importing using a csv...when I try to use an existing Project name or Key, I'm not allowed to do so.

Will there still be a way to use a csv to import into an existing Project after the old import experience is no longer available?

Thanks!

HI @Alejandro Guillen ,

Welcome. Should be able to import issues to an existing project. Have you tried follow along the Jira documentation:

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you! It looks like we still need to use the old import experience, according to this link:

1. Do you know if the old import experience will eventually be retired?
2. If so, do you know if this functionality will still be available?

Usually, the old experience will be deprecated once the new experience is able to fully replace it. This is just from previous observations like what was done with certain features of the cloud. Hence, why the old functionality is probably still available as a a stop gap.

I find it a little silly that you need to switch to the old experience simply to upload to an existing space. And its not incredibly clear that is what needs to happen from the documentation. Why would they create a new experience that doesn't cover 50% of use cases? Obviously guessing on percentage but when viewed as 50% import into existing projects, 50% into new, its not so far fetched.
