Can objectives be imported into Jira Align?

[Rizwan Hasan]

Hi,

Im trying to understand how to quickly add objectives to an associated Feature/Jira Epic in Jira Align.

I would like my Feature/Jira Epic to be imported with associated objectives for that object, most specifically status of the objective and target dates, etc.

Is it possible to import the objectives along with the Jira Epics when importing into Align using Excel?

Thanks!

@Rizwan Hasan the importing of objectives is currently not available in Jira Align.

I see that now in the import wizard, that it is "temporarily unavailable".

Is there any speculation as to when this will be ready?

Thank you!

I don't have visibility on when it will be available.

Any updates on this?  We have a ton of objectives to create for the new year and could really use that import feature!

Hi it's now 2023 and the Objective Import (via XLS) still seems to be 'coming soon'? Is there anything anyone can update on this?

Hi @Jason Leeming ,

Per the Help Center article More actions for objectives, it is still currently disabled.

• Import Objectives: This option is currently disabled while we work on some enhancements to objectives and import functionality. 

That functionality has been disabled due to work on the new OKR functionalities. 

As a workaround, however, you can use APIv2 to create Objectives programmatically.
