Bulk create projects via csv

Simon Rasmussen_u3lf4n

Hi,

I have been searching for information on how to create projects in jira using the bulk csv import feature, but I cannot find a solution for this.

What I am looking for is possibility to create X projects, with Y epics, and N issues, using a csv file. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Example

project A - Epic A - issue A

project A - Epic B - Issue B

project A - Epic B - isuee C

project B - Epic A - issue A

project C - Epic C - Issue B

project C - Epic B - isuee C

etc.

Hey @Simon Rasmussen this support article shows you how to import via CSV -https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/import-data-from-a-csv-file/

Hope it helps.

I have not actually tried it, but I have seen posts that it is possible. Have you tried including Project Name and Project Key as columns in your import data, and using a Configuration File for the field mapping?

Thanks @Tushar Bhatia I have tried following the section “Importing issues into multiple JIRA projects” but this seems to require the projects are allready created.

I am looking for a way to create the project in the csv import.
have you seen a Way to Do this?

or is this only possible using webservices and the API?

During the setup section, make sure you check "Defined in CSV" instead of import to project and it will add relevant data to the project you specify.

It will also automatically create projects if they're not already created. You will need to specify the Project Name, Project Key and Project Type.

Options for Project Type are (case sensitive):

software, business and service_desk

I just tested and it worked with this sample CSV:

IssueType, Summary, Project Name, Project Key, Project Type
bug, "First issue", Sample, SAMP, software
bug, "Second issue", Sample, SAMP, software
task, "Third issue", Example, EXAM, software

Awesome @Tushar Bhatia thanks. I will try this.

Hi @Tushar Bhatia Where do I find the checkbox "Defined in CSV" in the setup section?

I would like to create projects, epic and stories all at once using bulk import.

thanks
