Import multiple values in to Component field

Barbara Murray

I have an import file that has two columns, each value from these will be a component in the Jira issue

I am concatenating the values in Excel , separated by comma, but upon import I get an error saying that  the component does not exist because it tries to import the whole value i..e Action,Map Update instead of the two values

Hello @Barbara Murray 

Welcome to the community.

When you want to import multiple values into a multi-select field you have to put each value into its own column, and set the header for all the columns for that field to be the same.

Here's a reference document from Atlassian on importing from CSV:
