Trouble importing csv

[Wouter Markvoort]

I want to import epics, stories, etc into Jira

I have a test csv with only two items (and a few more fields than these, but this is what matters)

Issue ID, IssueType, Summary, Parent
1, Epic, Test epic,
2, Story, Test story, 1

When I import this csv file (into an existing project) , the epic gets imported just fine. It receives a key, "ABC-143". 

Now when it comes to importing the story, the importer tries to link it to the epic it just imported. But now I get this:

Cannot add value [ [ABC-143] ] to CustomField Parent Link in Issue with summary 'Test story'. Probably value was in incorrect format

So the importer creates the epic, is smart enough to memorize the key it has just created, and to use that for the imported stories that it wants to link to that epic. 

So what goes wrong? The story gets imported btw, just not as belonging to the epic.

Hi @Wouter Markvoort 

check the story issue type screen fields whether parent field is added in story or not

Yes, it has a parent field.
