I am importing Epics and Stories, Tasks using CSV but mappings are ignored.

please use deep clone plugin from atlassian marketplace much easier than whatever is shared here

Deep clone would cost money if you have to use it more than once.  You could use it during the trial period without paying for it to accomplish this but if you wanted to use it in the future you would need to purchase the app.

Thats Correct Brant, but I tried using the csv menthod shared here, i had 9 epics and 72 user stories related to it that I had to export to a new project .I made the csv as mentioned, but i was not sure how to update epic link.The below is just not clearly mentioned !

@PRIYANKA BHAGWAT Welcome to community.  You just need to make sure that you have the structure of the CSV setup correctly.  For epic links it looks like this:

Issue Type,Epic Name,Summary        ,Epic Link
Epic      ,  my-epic,Build a car    ,
Story     ,         ,Build an engine,  my-epic
Story     ,         ,Buy some tires ,  my-epic

 To link the Tasks to the Stories you would use an issue link and your CSV would look like this

Issue Type,Epic Name,Summary        ,Epic Link, Issue Id, Link One
Epic      ,  my-epic,Build a car    ,         ,        1,
Story     ,         ,Build an engine,  my-epic,        2,
Story     ,         ,Buy some tires ,  my-epic,        3,
Task      ,         ,Link a Task    ,         ,        4,        3

Hey @Brant Schroeder

When you are using this approach, which `JIRA Field` do you associate `Epic Link`, `Issue ID`, and `Link One` too when you get to the `Map Fields` portion of the import process? 

Thanks

Epic Link will map to Epic Link

Epic Name to Epic Name

Then under links and sub-tasks it should be Issue Id

Hi @Brant Schroeder I'm attempting to do this, but I am unable to find these fields. Are you able to help with this? Epic Link also does not exist. For reference, I'm uploading these into a kanban software project.
