Was this the entirety of the error log? There's usually more info about why an import would fail like this and there's not really enough here tell based on the lines you've provided.

Thanks for your reply Alex, yes.. that is the snippet of the error log and it doesnt have more details.  it thrown the same message for each entry i tried to import.

Hmmm. It's hard to say what the issue might be, but here are a couple things I usually look for when I have errors with my imports:

• Did you define the issue type in the CSV for each row?
• Do the user fields have "real" users?
• Are all of the required fields configured for that issue filled out correctly in the import file?
• If you chose to define the project in the CSV file, is the project name and key defined correctly?

It's hard to say without seeing more information from an error log, but I hope this helps.

Hi,

Can few fields be left blank while import? 

I have the same error and I met all the above points you mentioned above.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/external-system-import-fails-to-import-csv-file-779160696.html

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/incomplete-csv-import-when-issue-type-is-not-properly-defined-146407700.html

Followed the above links still the same error -

1 projects and 0 issues imported successfully!

Last week I could successfully import in dev, I hardly made any changes to file, not sure why it doesn't import now.

Hi,

I have added one more column in CSV to map with Status. and i have enter the name of very first status of workflow. eg. todo because i have "todo" first status in my workflow. and then imported the test case from CSV. Doing this my all test cases imported successfully.

TCID, Summary,     step,    data,     Expected Result, Status
1,       CSV import,  test,     test,      test,                     to do
