Concatenate or append at CSV Import

Fredrik Ivansson Flinta

Hi,

 

is it possible someway to concatenate or append values into fields during CSV import?

 

Example 1:

issuekey;summary;description;description2;description3

KEY-123;My summary;This is a description;And I would like;to append this into the same field without overwriting

 

Example 2:

issuekey;summary;Description;field1

KEY-123;My summary;This is a description;And I would append this to description

 

My question is if Jira can handle it in someway?

I have splitted cells in excel that exceeds 32767 bytes and I want them in the same fields in Jira, like the above examples.

 

Thanks in advance

No, the import is a simple "replace the data in the field" implementation, a flat "edit" action. 

You'd need to export the current data and concatenate your new data into the field before importing it back.
