Create Jira Issues with a CSV Import that references Asset Objects

Bernd Anderer

I want to run a CSV Import to create Jira Issues. One field is linked to reference existing Jira Assets.

Question is - how can I create such  a CSV import file? It is only about how to provide a reference to an Jira Asset. The general setup of a CSV file is not a problem.

Which value goes in the Jira Asset field?

I created a Jira Issue with an Asset Object in it.  When I export the Jira Issue, I see a value like this in the Asset field : 67927907-xxx:467

1) I do not know that kind of value that is, and how/where to get it.

2) I tried to provide the Asset key value (e.g. RI-423) in the CSV which did not work

Does anybody know how I create such a CSV file?

Hi @Bernd Anderer,

You can see here how to import Assets fields through CSV import: How to bulk update Assets Object custom fields via External System Import.

The export of a Jira issue gives you two things for the Assets field: workspace id and object id. In the example you mentioned:

• 67927907-xxx would be your workspace id (I edited it because I think it's best to not publicly share your workspace id)
• 467 your object id

If you want to import an issue with link to Asset object RI-423, it should work by providing the following in your CSV file:

67927907-xxx:423

Hope this helps,
