How to import history of an issue via CSV?

Ian Carlos

Hi everyone, hope you're all fine

 

You'll see, my company is performing a system migration, and one of the most important parts to keep, are the tickets of the previous system and theirs history (changelog in JIRA)

 

I'm using the CSV importing approach since via API or Python JIRA library is not possible to create issues with defined event dates (creation date, etc), but I haven't been able to find any example of how to upload the issue with its changelog...

 

Could you help me with this? Please

 

Changelog is really IMPORTANT for us

Hi,

You can do it with the JSON not the CSV

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/importing-data-from-json-802592907.html

example :

<span>"history"</span> <span>:</span> <span>[</span>
                        <span>{</span>
                            <span>"author"</span> <span>:</span> <span>"alice"</span><span>,</span>
                            <span>"created"</span><span>:</span> <span>"2012-08-31T15:59:02.161+0100"</span><span>,</span>
                            <span>"items"</span><span>:</span> <span>[</span>
                                <span>{</span>
                                    <span>"fieldType"</span> <span>:</span> <span>"jira"</span><span>,</span>
                                    <span>"field"</span> <span>:</span> <span>"status"</span><span>,</span>
                                    <span>"from"</span> <span>:</span> <span>"1"</span><span>,</span>
                                    <span>"fromString"</span> <span>:</span> <span>"Open"</span><span>,</span>
                                    <span>"to"</span> <span>:</span> <span>"5"</span><span>,</span>
                                    <span>"toString"</span> <span>:</span> <span>"Resolved"</span>
                                <span>}</span>
                            <span>]</span>
                        <span>}</span>
                    <span>]</span>
