CSV import -- Log Work

Question

Hi,

We exported all the issues from a project from one JIRA instance and looking to import to a separate new instance.

When mapping the fields via the admin level External System import, I can map almost all the fields from the CSV except for Log Work.

The field looks to be available by default.  Is there something locked from my view (I should be admin)

I have screen shots of the excel and mapping pages below

Any help is greatly appreciated.

@Niranjan , I was mucking around and mapping random fields.   It looks like I stumbled onto the right field to map to.

Thanks for the help!

Hi @Dave Channing - To track time spent, you need to use seconds. Do you see Worklog field in JIRA for mapping?

I forgot to mention that we got the export of our issues from the old JIRA board via Issues page --> Export Issues drop down --> Export Excel CSV (all fields).

Not sure if that makes a difference?  Should we be exporting from another section?

Lastly, the mapping screen does not have that field available at.  So when I type Log or Work, I do not get any option for that field unless it's named differently?  (my first screen shot I was trying to find the field and didn't choose one, hence the red error text)
