Loading via CSV File - Error: Issue can't be created due to the error/s [ Epic Name is required. ]

Heidi Fry May 24, 2022

Loading Epics & Stories via a CSV File after reading documentation.  Getting this error: Issue can't be created due to the error/s [ Epic Name is required. ]

Please let me know how to set up the spreadsheet so I can load Epics and their associated Stories.

Thanks!

Hi @Heidi Fry  Welcome to Atlassian Community!

It's very easy to setup csv file for epic/story, kindly setup file similar to below table :- 

 

Map Epic Name with Epic Name field, Summary with Summary and Epic Link with Epic Link in csv import. 

 

Issue Type Epic Name Summary         Epic Link
Epic       New Release 15.5 iOS new version  
Story                New UI New Release 15.5
Story                New AR New Release 15.5

I believe you. have to define Epics first, and they need an Epic Name. Then come Story etc issues

I keep getting the 

Issue can't be created due to the error/s [ Issue 'RPD-13' must be of type 'Epic'. ]

which is strange because I haven't even defined a RPD-13 ticket
