How do I import Components

[Somnath Ghosh]

Like to upload a list of components while setting up Porjects.

I see only a manual "Add a Component" option. Any other options to upload a list from Excel?

You can use the addComponent action from the JIRA Command Line Interface to add a component. Put a list of those actions in a file and use the run action - example: https://bitbucket.org/bob_swift/jira-cli/src/ea0def7f96e3/src/main/resources/examples/runExample.txt. Or use runFromCsv on a appropriately formatted csv file.

If you import issues from CSV, you can import components from there (and remove the issue(s) later). Or use Jelly scripts. Both ways need a bit of prep, although neither are hard.

Thanks, new to Jira, so am figuring things out. What is a Jelly script?

when i try to do this, it says that the component doesn't exist and doesn't actually add the component. am i doing something wrong?
