Import project's Custom Fields

[Bryan Tackaberry]

Hi all,

I'm migrating from an old external system into Jira using the System's External System Import option, having built a valid json file.  For each issue I've included a custom field values array ("customFieldValues": []). When the importer first encounters a new custom field I get the warning "Custom field not found. Creating a new custom field for...".

Is there a way, at project level rather than the issue level, to define expected custom fields, hence avoid these warnings?  

Many thanks,

Bryan

Hi @Bryan Tackaberry ,

have you solved this problem?

In general something like this should work:

"customFieldValues": [
    {
        "fieldName": "Story Points",
        "fieldType": "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:float",
        "value": "15"
    },
    {
        "fieldName": "Business Value",
        "fieldType": "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:float",
        "value": "34"
    }
]

Is the fieldType correct in your case?

Maybe also there could be some problems with the contexts like the custom field is not allowed for your newly imported projects...
