Create Subtasks Under a Specific Parent Ticket via CSV import

Volkan Uzer

Hello - I am trying to create subtask ticket using csv import. I have looked ways to do it and found a lot of information. What I found out was I need have at least, Issue Type, Issue ID, Summary, Parent ticket ID and I have these and much more in my csv file. My problem is likely that I cannot map issue type. It doesn't exist in the drop down menu. I am wondering,

1- If that is really the issue?

2- How can I resolve it?

Appreciate if someone can assist me to resolve this issue.

From the log:

2025-02-25 03:50:24,111 INFO - Issue does not have issue type selected, the affected issues will be created with issue type [Epic]
2025-02-25 03:50:24,146 ERROR - Issue 'ABC' doesn't have a valid Parent selection based on the Issue type hierarchy rules. Issue will not be created.

Hi @Volkan Uzer ,

Welcome to the community !!

Please check if "Issue Type" field is present in the Issue type Create screen

Hi. No, issue type 'sub-task' is not under create. Only way to create subtask is, through 'Add' button in given ticket that is already created.

Hi @Volkan Uzer

You cannot create a sub-task that way. Since it needs to be associated with a parent, you can only create the sub-task from within the parent. With CSV import, the parent you want the sub-task to be a child of must already exist when you perform the sub-task association. A sub-task cannot stand alone.

If your EPIC issue is already created in your project, then you will need to add the Epic issue key in the Parent ID column

Hope this helps

Hi @Volkan Uzer ,

Not here, you need to go to project setting --> Expand Issues tab -->Screens
now expand the screen scheme mapped to your sub task issue type and open the Screen mapped to Create screen. Check if the Issue type field is present in the screen. If not, you need to add and then retry the import.

Also make sure there is sub-task ticket type in the project
Issues --> Types.

Hi @Pasam Venkateshwarrao - My main problem is I don't see 'issue type' selection in mapping screen at all. How do I resolve that?

Our hierrachy set up in the following way,

EPIC Ticket --> Child Issue --> Subtasks

I am trying to subtasks under the child issue which I put its ID in column 'Parent' because that is how it show up when I export csv for issues that already have this hierrachy. I don't see Parent ID as you put it. I also do not see Parent ID in mapping selection drop down menu options.

Thank you @Rilwan . I see subtask in screens and when I expand it, I see as below. I also do not see Issue --> Types as a setting.

@Volkan Uzer If you are org admin you can see external system import in system,from there you can import csv file there you can see parent id (if you kept parent id column in csv )map the fields

Hope it helps I tried it is working for me that why I asked you try like this.
