Import csv into Next-Gen project?

[Gerhard_Basson]

Can I import a CSV file into a next-gen project?

Hello,

I am adding this in case other users are going to search for a way to do so.

Importing issues from CSV to next-gen projects is possible as long as you don't map any custom field in the Next-Gen project. This is because of the below bug:

• [JRACLOUD-70949] CSV import will fail if Next-gen custom field is mapped

Please review above bug ticket for details.

Seems we will need to wait for the Next-Gen projects to gain more functionality.

I'm not sure about importing directly to an existing next gen project, but as a workaround you could import the issues into a normal Jira project then move them over to the next gen project as specified in this documentation:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/migrate-from-an-next-gen-project-to-a-classic-project-957974933.html?_ga=2.112368196.1975728425.1544404650-1760366298.1538725681

Hope this helps!

Yes, I did exactly this. The biggest challenge is the custom fields. I modified / created the fields with exactly the same names on both projects, but the Move does not map the fields so the values are not moved over. Bummer!

How about copying the issues instead of moving them?  There are some people who said they did that here:

@Gerhard_Basson Did you ever find a solution? I've been trying to bulk move issues from one "next-gen" project to another for days but nothing has worked (tried CSV export/import, bulk move, created support tickets with Atlassian, etc.).

Thanks

No, we basically abandoned next-gen projects. These projects seem to be very isolated in their use - great for smaller single projects and business type projects, but not when you want to manage a group of 5 software development projects and need to interact between them. And we found the integration with Bitbucket also an issue. So we use "standard" software projects across the board.

I went into my Next-Gen project settings -> Features.

Enabled the issue navigator.

Then when i go back in my project I have an Issue tab that appeared. Click on the issue tab, the regular blue Create button appears at the top from which i create a new issue. This gives the same options as in a classic project to upload a csv.

The "import" issue is located in the top right corner of the Create issue window.

Where is this setting located?

[Alice Desrochers]

Project settings should be at the left of your screen at the bottom of the sidebar list.

You should see your project name, with Roadmap, Backlog, Board underneath ... at the bottom of that list there should be Project Settings.

Once you click on Project settings, the sidebar will change and you should see the Features option.

Almost 2 years on and it still doesn't work.

Works for me - need to use in my CSV:

• Issue Type: "Subtask"

and in my config.txt

• "jira.field" : "parent id"
• "jira.field": "Story point estimate"

We had to abandon assigning the imported tickets to a Sprint because the Sprint field seems to require an ID, not the name.
