Is it possible to import issues from Excel to create a search in JIRA

[Jibraan Tariq]

Hi, 

I have a list of JIRA references (ISC) and I am looking to import them into JIRA to then do reporting on them. 

E.g. I have ISC-0000, ISC- 1111, ISC-2222 (I have approx 500) and I would like to import them into JIRA as a search result to then do reporting on. 

Thanks,

Hello,

You can import issues to Jira in the csv format.

You can find more info here:

Thank you @Alexey Matveev , I dont seem to have the option to select this Is this specific for the cloud version?

Go to System -> External System Import. Then choose CSV.

@Alexey Matveev Perhaps I dont have access to this?

On Server you can not import a csv file via the Issue Navigator. You must be a Jira administrator and import it via System -> External System Import.
