problem understanding JIRA CLI with cascading field and csv

tom sweet

Hi

We use a cascading field in JIRA and it is set as required. We need to create 100s or more test cases via the CLI

We have the following csv to import

action,project,type,summary,assignee,reporter, customfield_10133,asCascadeSelect

createIssue,VTP,TestCase,deleteme,jon.smith,jon.smith,15486,15487

I am able to create the first half of the menu item, but not the second.

I have tried commas, quotes, etc.

If we remove the customfield and disable it as required, we can import. We want to keep the menu required and import the field as part of the csv import.

The values from the database are:

<colgroup><col span="3" width="64"> <col width="194"> <col span="2" width="64"> </colgroup>

ID	CUSTOMFIELD	CUSTOMFIELDCONFIG	PARENTOPTIONID	customvalue
15486	10133	10163	NULL	File Menu
15487	10133	10163	15486	Symbols > New...
15488	10133	10163	15486	Symbols > Load...

Cascade select types are a bit of pain. There are 2 options for this. If you have any problems, open a support issue at JIRA Command Line Interface.

1. Use --common "--asCascadeSelect" on runFromCsvwith something like

action,project,type,summary,reporter,field,values
createIssue,VTP,TestCase,deleteme,john.smith,customfield_10133,"15486,15487"

2. Use --common "--asCascadeSelect" on runFromCsvwith something like

action,project,type,summary,reporter,field,values,issue
createIssue,zjiracli,task,deleteme,admin,
setFieldValue,,,,,customfield_10133,"15486,15487",@issue@
