Can I create issue links when running CSV Import?

David Tieman

When running the JIRA Cloud CSV import process I want to map issues and link using the "Blocks" issue link type, is this possible?

@David Tieman , how are you ?

You can use something like this in your CSV file

Key	Summary	Blocks	Blocks	Clones
Example01	Summary01	Example03	Example02
Example02	Summary02	Example01
Example03	Summary03		Example01	Example02

Here is the tutorial if you have more doubts

Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira

Hi @David Tieman

just to add to Carlos' great answer: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, another option might be the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields - including your issue links - much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also supports bulk editing via copy/paste - within JXL, but also between JXL and any other app, including Excel or Google Sheets.

With this, you can easily import issue links from a CSV file, like so:

Whether this is easier than the native bulk import somewhat depends on your data format. It's also worth noting that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Thank you for this link, I had also found this information but I read this as for Data Center / Server only and we are in a Cloud tenant of JIRA. I haven't tried this yet to see if this solution would work in my Cloud environment but will attempt this solution. Thank You

David Tieman

Thank you for your response and information. Unfortunately, our organization does not implement these add-ons.

@David Tieman , to import CSV in Cloud or Server/DC is the same thing

First you need to import your default issues

ID	Summary
1	Summary01
2	Summary02
3	Summary03

After this, you need to get de Keys and organizer your CSV file basead in your keys

Key	Summary	Blocks	Blocks	Clones
SSP-1	Summary01	SSP-2	SSP-3
SSP-2	Summary02	SSP-1
SSP-3	Summary03		SSP-2	SSP-1

In the importer you need to map this infos

Then after updating, you will get this result
