While importing stories, I want to add parent-child relation but it is working in reverse way

While importing stories, I want to add parent-child relation but it is working in reverse way.

Stories are getting created as Parent-of instead I want stories to be created as Child-of the Links provided in csv file.

Below are the mapping fields displayed for Links field..

Links ->  Links & Sub-Tasks

Link "Blocks"

Link "Clones"

Link "Duplicate"

Link "Issue-split"

Link "Parent-Child"

Link "Relates"

Link "Reuse"

Please help with this earliest as I have to upload many stories at once.

My project does not use Epic or Parent link.. We are using Link field for parent-child relation.

Hello @shyam sunder rn 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Can you provide a sample of the CSV data showing your use of the "Parent-child" link?

Can you get the Inward and Outward descriptions for the "Parent-child" link type from you Issue Link Types configuration screen?

The import process can create only an Outward link from the imported issue to the issue you specify. This is documented here:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira/kb/how-to-import-issue-links-from-a-csv-file-in-jira/

If the "Parent-child" link type is defined as:
Inward description: Is parent of
Outward description: is child of

...and you create this type of import data:
Type, Summary, Parent-child
Story,Summary for this issue,TEST-123

...then the issue created by the import will be linked with "is child of" the issue TEST-123

Conversely, if the "Parent-child" link type is defined as:
Inward description: Is child of
Outward description: is parent of

...and you create this type of import data:
Type, Summary, Parent-child
Story,Summary for this issue,TEST-123

...then the issue created by the import will be linked with "is parent of" the issue TEST-123

You cannot choose which direction the link is made. The imported issue will always be linked to the specified issue with the Outward Description for the selected link type.
