CSV file import

Question

Hello,

I am trying to create multiple tasks in JIRA using an EXCEL form which creates a CSV file to be imported.

These tasks will be linked, so I need to know how to create the below information in the CSV:

How to set up the type of link (i.e. is part of / is dependant on / is a dependancy to)

How to add the linked JIRA task (i.e. TASK-1234)

So, let's say I create TASK-5555 and it is part of TASK-1111, the CSV should have something like:

Summary,Link,Link Type,"My Task-5555","TASK-1111","is part of"

The only page I've found so far was the below, but not detailed information:

Thanks in advance

Hello, thanks for the answer.

My version is JIRA v7.2.9.

The example I shared in the first message was a guess as I could not find the proper documentation.

Just to be clear, what I need is to create the below structure using CSV import:

issuelinktype - I guess it is automatically generated ID

name - ? (automatic ? / mandatory ?)

outwardlinks - my main question. What is the CSV field name for this

issuekey -  I guess the ID it is automatically generated and the TASK-1111 we inform. Again, what should be the CSV field name for this ?

The structure you present, Summary,Link,Link Type
"My Task-5555","TASK-1111","is part of" look correct. May I ask in what version are you? This is only available after 6.2 If you try to import in that structure, what is the output?
