Can you Add multiple Custom Fields from CSV?

Clayton Chancey_jmdy74

I'm new to Jira,, and am building the architecture for a new interface requiring many hundreds of custom fields.

I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid the process of clicking "Add Custom Field" and manually clicking through the configuration of each field... perhaps a CSV sheet with each configuration item separated out, and imported through some kind of plugin? The same question would also apply to the creation/configuration of User Groups, Screen, Workflow Transitions, and even modifying Script Post-Functions in individual Workflow Transitions.

I'm desperately looking for any way to avoid plodding through hours of click-clicking, when I already have the logic and architecture determined. Help?!

Hey Clayton!

You can accomplish what you're trying to do using a Jelly script:

Jelly Tags - Create Custom Field

That said, I'd highly suggest that you try and reuse as many fields as you can to keep the number of custom fields to a minimum.  Having a large number of custom fields is a very common culprit for lots of performance issues, especially as things start to scale.

Good luck!
