I am using the Import Issues from CSV via the Issues menu (admin CSV importer). How can I import the Key instead of Jira assigning the key to the issue? I want to use our own issue number so I can update these same issues in the future via the same CSV importer.
I figured it out. I was not using the Admin Import. I found it under the System menu–>External System Import. Now I have all the fields I need! Thanks for the info. I appreciate your assistance.
Thanks for the example.
I have made a csv file as such:
"key", "summary"
"ADP-100419", "Second issue's summary"
Now I am on the import screen. I am trying to map Key to Key but Key is not an available field. How do i get Key as an available field? Here are the fields I have available:
JIRA fields: Original Estimate, Remaining Estimate, Summary, Issue Type, Due Date, Description, Reporter, Assignee, Priority and Labels.
Links & Sub-Tasks fields: Issue ID, Parent ID.
In past testing of the import, I used Issue ID as the Key but JIRA still assigned it's own Key ("ADP-10" for example). I would like it to be "ADP-100419" not an auto assigned number.

You need to have a CSV file similar to this one:
"issue key", "summary" "KEY-1", "First issue's summary" "KEY-2", "Second issue's summary"
Note that the first row is essential, as JIRA needs it to know what is contained on each column.
