Jira - Import Issues from CSV - comment field

Question

Hi,

I'm using "Import Issues from CSV" feature in my jira project. I have a comments that I would also like to add to the ticket but it doesn't seem like that field is available. However, jira does have the capability.  The question is as a project administrator/developer is there a way to get access to that field in the bulk upload interface?

thanks

The field 'Comment Body' is not available to map to when using the standard CSV importer

Hi @Gavin

If you're using the non-Jira Admin uploader (i.e via Search > Import from CSV), I haven't seen a specific list of available fields.

Best way I find is to try and check. If the field Comment Body isn't possible to map to, then it's not available for non-Jira Admins.

Hi Gavin, importing comments from the CSV IMPORT functionality is possible

In this article you can see that it gives you examples of comments, you can import several comments using a column for each comment
