import child task in jira cloud of already uploaded parent

Question

hello,

i'm using the import with csv method to buld import new tasks in my project.

I would like to set the parent-child relation already during the import, so I'm using a field "Parent".

I want to "attach" as child the new tasks to an already present task (an epic in my case)

I tried to set it with the number of parent or the projectName-number (eg. MYSW-123) but I receive a warning during the import

WARN - Unable to retrieve issue key for parent : MYSW-123

how should i setup this field?

thanks for your help

@fabioabba you could use epic link to map child tasks to parent epic. But this works when epic is level 1 and task level 0.
