When I perform an Export from Jira cloud it says there are repeated fields

[Rosana Casilli]

Hello All!!

Hope you have a great day!

Yesterday my partrner whas trying to export issues from jira cloud.  When doing so, it was shown the following:

"Attachment" is repeated 3 times.
"Comment" is repeated 5 times"Components" is repeated 2 times.
"Labels" is repeated 7 times.
"Log Work" is repeated 3 times.
"Outward issue link (Blocks)" is repeated 2 times.
"Sprint" is repeated 9 times.
"Watchers" is repeated 3 times.

Does this mean that the fields in the project where he was exporting issues has all those repeated fields? if so? how can I check it and solve it?

or are them in other projects too?

Thanks in advance

You can also try using JIRA Importers Plugin for that, it will allow you to add attachments to issues that already exist.

Pawel,

How exactly? I dont see an obvious option to add attachments.

Have you found https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Importing+Data+From+CSV#ImportingDatafromCSV-Updatingexistingissues?

And here's a part about importing attachments - https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Importing+Data+From+CSV#ImportingDatafromCSV-Importingattachments

Well, I think this is only possible, when you want to import attachments together with new issues. If you already have issues present in your project and want to import attachments to them, there's no option for doing so. Please, correct me, if I'm wrong.

@Lukas, IIRC adding attachments to already existing issues in CSV import should work too. You need to include in each row in CSV file an issue key of already existing issue and map it correctly (Issue Key) in the configuration wizard.

Tony, as I said below your issues will be already having atachment data. The files alone will be missing, you just need to copy that. Can you check one of the issues?

[Renjith Pillai]

The attachment data should have come already in database. Do a query on fileattachment table and check whether it is existing. You need to just copy the project directory from old jira home/attachments to the new location. It should work.

Hi,

I have looked and there is no attachment data for any of the >60k items. I have tried that already. But thanks.
