import csv file

unknown

hello team

 

i read that :

For example, this is valid:

Summary, Assignee, Reporter, Issue Type, Description, Priority
"Test issue", admin, admin, 1, ,

... but this is not valid:

Summary, Assignee, Reporter, Issue Type, Description, Priority
"Test issue", admin, admin, 1

 

 

but i do not understand really why ? 

first :   why after priority we do not set a comma (,) ?

Second : why at the end of example 1 there are 2 comma ?

third : why we make "test issue "  like a string ?

I need the help thank you .

Hi @[deleted],

You may want to look at any CSV file which has some data in it. Typically, they are comma separated values.

first :   why after priority we do not set a comma (,) ? - The first row in any CSV file is the header row which are column names separated by Comma(,). If you put a comma after Priority, it would mean there is one more column after Priority field

Second : why at the end of example 1 there are 2 comma ? - It means the Description and Priority field value in example 1 is blank/empty

third : why we make "test issue "  like a string ? - If you look at the column headings,

1. Summary field in JIRA is of type String. If Summary has only one word (which is very unlikely) then you don't need to put them in quotes.
2. Assignee and Reporter are of type user in JIRA which means you need to provide the username.
3. Issue type can be provided as a issue type id that is denoted by the underlying configurations or the issue type name as a string. Both will work
4. Description is of type String, similar to Summary
5. Prioirity can be provided as a Priority id that is denoted by the underlying configurations or the Priority name as a string. Both will work

Hope this addresses your concern.
