Can Bulk Import from .csv be setup to allow large data fields for the "Description" field?

James Johnson April 24, 2023

I'm attempting to bulk import ACAS .csv findings into  Jira each one as an individual Jira ticket. However the bulk import crashes when the "Description" field has more than .... guessing here....100 lines in it.

Hello @James Johnson 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

How many characters are in the data? There is a length limit of 32,767 characters for Paragraph fields.

If that is what you are encountering there are some change requests concerning that field's length, but the workaround is that you will have truncate the text before importing.
