Import custom field values from file

Question

Hallo,

We have custom field called "Application" (select list - single choice) and two text custom field called "owner 1" and "owner 2". In Excel i have list witch 60 applications and two owners for each application.

It's possible to import this values to custom fields and "connect' them?

For example if I choose application "x" then show "owner 1" and owner 2 for this application, if i select application "y" show their owners...

Everything i have in one file, it's possible to import everything and "conect" in JIRA somehow ?

Hi Pawel,

How did you manage to import values from a xcel file?
My case:
I have a custom field - drop-down list, single choice called Service Catalog (all the soft and hard components for witch we provide support).
The xls file has 300 entries, i have integrated on the custom field manually -> NOT OK because the xls file it's updated every week...
So do you have a solution for this?
I can provide you screen shots, more infos etc.
I really need this function :)

Cheers,
Oli.

Ok, but this mettod is not acceptable for us, we need to have one main field and two child fields...

Maybe there is a method that we can create one main field and create two text fields ans write some script or configure somehow that if i choose A  or B or C from main field (select list) that JIRA will fill those  another 2 text fields...

JIRA does not allow for multi child cascading select lists as far as I know. However, you could use 2 casading select fields and just have duplicate top level application entries.
