How to import many files to be attached to issues

Question

Hi,

We are moving from different tool set to Jira , migrating all data.

During the migration we would like to import also all attachments (usually log files)

CSV import is clear , for data import , but  any ideas how to import files in automatic way to different issues ?

We can export all files to shared folder ,

the question is how to import them to Jira . We have hundreds of files .

Thanks,Gal.

There is a REST API to do this. If you have all the content ready then you can simply upload it using this API, you can fully automate this. For detailed information on the API go to,

We have done this by programmatically populating the attachment column with file protocol URL and importing via csv.

For that you have to copy the attachments to the installation folder.

Note we were using On-prem
