The default agile custom field name for epic is call "Epic Name". Also, some agile custom fields are "locked" which may prevent updates.

You need to map "Epic" to "Epic Name" in your properties file if you can't change your csv. See this for more info.

For unlocking fields, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/GHKB/How+to+unlock+a+Locked+field

Hi Bob,

I rename "Epic" with "Epic Name" please see the data of my properties file

field.IssueType = Type
field.Component = Components
field.Project = Project
field.Prioritys = Priority
field.Epic Name = Epic Name
field.Epic Link= Epic Link
field.Labels = Labels

After successfully import i am able to import data of all field except "Epic Name".

What could be the reason?

Please correct me if i am missing any step.

Thanks in Advanced
