How to import history of an issue via CSV?

[Ian Carlos]

Hi everyone, hope you're all fine

You'll see, my company is performing a system migration, and one of the most important parts to keep, are the tickets of the previous system and theirs history (changelog in JIRA)

I'm using the CSV importing approach since via API or Python JIRA library is not possible to create issues with defined event dates (creation date, etc), but I haven't been able to find any example of how to upload the issue with its changelog...

Could you help me with this? Please

Changelog is really IMPORTANT for us

Hi,

You can do it with the JSON not the CSV

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/importing-data-from-json-802592907.html

example :

"history" : [
                        {
                            "author" : "alice",
                            "created": "2012-08-31T15:59:02.161+0100",
                            "items": [
                                {
                                    "fieldType" : "jira",
                                    "field" : "status",
                                    "from" : "1",
                                    "fromString" : "Open",
                                    "to" : "5",
                                    "toString" : "Resolved"
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]

To add to what Mohamed has mentioned, there is an open request on Atlassian public issue tracker that you can vote on and add yourself as a watcher to receive notifications from now on.
