Importing csv to jira question

[Khuram Khalil]

Hi all, 

So i am importing a bunch of data into jira from a csv, ive managed to get all the fields working except one

We have a "system category" field which has a drop so it would be main category - sub category 

When importing, if i do "Main category name - Sub category name" it will just create a new main category with the full name.

Whats the csv syntax for it to pick up the secondary option as well?

Hey @Khuram Khalil,

For cascading custom fields, use Parent Value -> Child Value. You can find more details at https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/import-data-from-a-csv-file/#:~:text=Importing%20cascading%20choice%20custom%20fields.
