Import to JPD from Jira - No Status field

Question

I'm working on an import of a group of issues from a company managed project from Jira to JPD and I have run into several issues, but now I've got an issue that I need help.

Why is there no workflow status to map to? I have got to be missing something, right? It should listed under the Jira fields I would think.

Because I have custom fields, moving the issues is too hard and they don't move over, so importing seems to be the best way to accomplish this; but if I don't have the status field, will I have to manually go back and update each 200 that I'm importing?

Thanks!

Hi Wendy,

If you are a Jira admin please use the external import system tool, and not the "import issue" button .

It is accessible in System, only to jira admins.

The interface will look 99% but slightly different, and you'll find the field status.

That's not a Jira Product Discovery issue but a platform issue unfortunately.

Yeah. Jira Product Discovery projects are more like a conventional Jira Team Managed project. Some things don't work there. JPD Status is not the same field as Jira Status. The values in it are completely isolated.

From my experience is yes, you'll need to update those issues after you import.
