missing EPIC field when importing CSV files into Jira next gen project

Question

I am trying to export EPIC and issue child issues to CSV, and import them into a new next gen project.

All issues are created but no EPIC or parent issues.

Any one had the same issue?

Thanks in advance!

That is a ludicrous thing to suggest as a workaround. This should be a working feature. It's something we rely on at the beginning of projects and as a mechanism for doing bulk changes through a spreadsheet. It makes certain things way easier to visualize.

Thanks David. I think only the EPIC and the link between EPIC and issues seem to get lost. I researched online and it seems like this is a well known issue. Maybe the work around is to export the issues to a classic project then move them to next gen.....

Hello,

Yes we did have the same problem. Some info is lost when you switch the project type or export-import between different kind of projects.
