Create new epics on import

Daria Weiss April 17, 2023

Hi,

I have a project that I want to use as a template for future similar projects. In this "template" project, I have epics and related tasks created. I have exported the tasks/epics from the template to CSV. I am using the import issues via csv to setup the new epics and tasks in the new project. 

When I do this, the epic link associates the new tasks to the epic in the "template" project. I want these to be stand-alone epics and tasks for the new project. I've tried importing without the epic link field mapped, but then my validation fails for the "new" epics and it won't create the new epics linked to the new tasks. 

Any advice would be appreciated. I have read and re-read this article many times https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/create-issues-using-the-csv-importer/

there was a quite long discussion about this here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-import-stories-linked-to-epics-in-jira/qaq-p/373117

 

I hope it helps.

Thank you. The answer provided by Brant Witzel did the trick.  The order and data in the fields was the problem.
