Is it possible to import data into custom fields in jira service management?

[cheikh charles ndiaye]

I have to populate the custom fields on my jira service management project but some of them have hundreds of rows. Is there a way of adding them all at once? I have the data on an excel file.

Thank you

Hi @cheikh charles ndiaye , 

The solution that worked for me in the past was to create a csv file with fake issues, each issue with a new option value for the custom field.... and then import the csv file ... 

Take a look at this documents that will guide you through the process: 

• How to bulk import custom field values for certain types of Custom Field
• How to bulk add options to custom fields via External System Import
