How can I define Issue ID and Parent ID before CSV import procedure?

[Fedor Trutsko]

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Importing data from CSV

How can I define Issue ID and Parent ID before CSV import procedure to avoid cases with duplicating of issues? 

I mean case when you are trying to upload issue with Issue Id which already exists in JIRA.

Thank you.

Hi Lyn,

You can use javascript for the purpose.

AJS.toInit(function(){

var field= document.getElementById('customfield_xxxxx');

var workflowSubmit=document.getElementById('issue-workflow-transition-submit');

field.disabled=true;

workflowSubmit.onclick=function() {

field.disabled=false;

}

});

We didn't actually implement this, as I couldn't get the approval from the internal owner of JIRA.  So I am not sure if would have worked or not.   I marked it as answered (from memory) as we are relying on transitions and JIRA not showing in View fields that do not have values.

Thanks for the help though
