Importing deactivated/disabled fields.

[Raj Vora]

If you disable/deactivate a particular value for a field as described here:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Core-questions/custom-field-deactivate-disable-value/qaq-p/192409

can you still import that field value afterward?  We are in the process of doing data migration and need particular field values to exist to do the import, but we don't want anyone to inadvertently select it in the mean time.

Hi Raj,

As a simple option, you can simply disable the options you don't want to see now, and then re-enable them if you have any trouble with the import. If I recall correctly, you should be able to do the import as long as the values are there, but it's very easy to re-enable the options if necessary.

Cheers,
Daniel
