Test case importer

[Vin Madimetla]

Test Case importer - Jira mapping fields with csv file, I have a assignee field in the csv and trying to map it to jira field "Assignee Name".

But this is not mapping and throwing an error 

                "customfield_10004":

customfield_10004": "Field 'customfield_10004' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."

Can anyone help me resolve this issue

Hi @Vin Madimetla - weolcome to the community,

Could you give some more details please? Are you importing into another project or even another site? 

Is the customfield_10004 the field "Assignee name"? what type of field is it?

Regarding the error message my first guess would be that the there is a "Create Screen" configured in the project and the field is not available on that screen. Could you please check this (if you have admin rights)?

Thanks in advance.

Best
Stefan

Hi @Vin Madimetla , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question. 

My advice to make an import work, of any type, is always to start with an export. In your case, the field Assignee, in the cloud, is not like it was in Jira server (if you've ever used that) where you can just import the username and you're fine. In cloud, you are looking for the account id of the assignee, which, if you start from an export, you will be able to see. I think this is likely what the issue is, that you might be trying to map a text field, assignee name, onto the assignee field, which is looking for another type of information. 

I hope this helps you but if you have other questions, please write us again here. 

Best wishes
