Thank you very much for quick reply.

Migrating issue using CSV import has epic link issue for server version.

So went for rest api but it has problem of issue key.

I thought I'm missing, will be possible by some configuration.

By Mixture of JIRA CSV import and Jira Rest API solve problem.

No.  You do not set an issue key when creating an issue, Jira uses the next number in the project.

Hi @Ashok Kumar Jha ,

if you mean, that you would like to set, which issue key will the newly created issue have, then it is probably not possible, because it is not possible in Jira itself.
