Hello Atlassioan team,
I prepared an import file in the MS Excel. There is column "Description". One cell in this column contains several rows where each row is created with the key <Alt>.
After import in JIRA the rows merged in one row.
I would like to ask you if it is possible to insert several rows as single lines in a one field "Description" - something like <BR> tag.
Thank you for your support,
Ivana
Hello,
many thanks for your prompt answer. However I look for something other. I need insert in one "Description" field in JIRA multiple rows from one cell in .csf import file.
Please find attached pictures:
2. Content from cell F1 I need to import into Description in JIRA - please see in the "Result_JIRA_Multiple_rows_in_Description.png" picture.
Thank you for your support and best regards,
Ivana
I know this is an old thread, but the only one I found with the same issue I was running into.
When it is possible to change your source file, you can add multible columns with the same name as descipted here under the topic:

Best Regard,

P.S. When you found another solution, for example with an additional seperator you use in your field, I would be glad to hear about ;-)

@Phil Merk,
That only applies to select lists that accept multiple values, not the description field.
Thanks!

Hello,
According to the Atlassian documentation, in order to import multiple lines, you should wrap them in quotes.
Use double-quote marks ("
) in your CSV file to capture data that spans multiple lines. For example, Jira will treat the following as a valid CSV file with a single record:
Summary, Description, Status
"Login fails", "This is on
a new line", Open
