Bulk Update Cascading Select Options

Todd Winton

Using this: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-bulk-add-options-to-custom-fields-via-external-system-import-1115662994.html

I can add single select options.  However I am not sure how to do the same for a cascading select field to get the second option in the cascade.

Example:

Field Level 1, Field Level 2

Option1, OptionA

Option2,OptionB

In the example, I can easily add the Field Level 1 options, but not sure how to add Field Level 2

Hi @Todd Winton,

You did find a very concise article there indeed. In this support article  a more complete reference regarding csv import can be found.

From that article, this section describes how to import cascading select custom fields:

Importing cascading choice custom fields

You can import values to a cascading choice custom field using the following syntax:

Summary, My Cascading Custom Field Example

Summary, Parent Value -> Child Value

The '->' separator allows you to import the hierarchy.

Hope this helps!
