Issue Linking JIRA using CSV import

Question

Hi All,

I am performing CSV import to bulk upload issues, I am able to import all fields along with Sub task.

I am now facing huge issues to preserve Issue Linking. I have found articles which speak about Jelly Script and so.

I am not much of scripting expert.

I could do some workaround, It would be great help if someone can provide more info on this issue.

Many Thanks,
Akash

TST-1 is source ticket( from which issue links needs to be created) and ABC-123 is destination one
Most simple one is CURL command line, here is below example using CURL command. I have used one of the sample in URL 
{code}
curl -D- -u username:password -X PUT --data @rest.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://mycompany:8080/jira/rest/api/latest/issue/TST-1/remotelink 
{code}

Content of file rest.txt file
{
    "globalId": "system=http://mycompany:8080/browse/ABC-123";,                          
    "object": {                                                     
        "url":"http://mycompany:8080/browse/ABC-123";, 
        "title":"Crazy customer support issue (RESOLVED)"                        
    }
}

Basically REST is independent of the language you can write script in language you are comfortable in JAVA, jQuery, Python or even 
VBS ( Excel) etc. For Browser based client you can try "Postman Rest Client" from Chrome webstore
