Importing UAT Test Cases from Excel into JIRA with multiple test steps across several rows

[Moe Virima]

My team is preparing UAT test cases in Excel, and some of our test cases include multiple steps that must be listed across several rows. This seems to conflict with the recommended import format, where the import template expects one row per test case. Because of this, we’re concerned that the importer may not correctly associate multiple step rows with a single Jira test case.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Please advise on a workaround to import these test cases that contain multiple steps spread across multiple Excel rows into a single Jira issue.

I have come across a few articles suggesting that modifying the configuration file might be a possible workaround, but the guidance isn’t very clear. Any recommendations or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
