Bulk import from CSV field mapping question

Brian Fisher September 23, 2021

I am doing a bulk import into a project from a CSV file with over 400 entries.  It's relatively simple with only 6 total fields per entry.  What I would like to do is match the value of the "Reporter" field to a custom user-picker field called "Project Manager".  If I manually add this to the CSV file as a test it never populates.  The "reporter" field populates fine with the username (e.g. jdoe) but "project manager" field with the same "jdoe" value does nothing.  Not sure what I am missing.

Also I suppose this doesn't necessarily need to be handled during the import.  If there is an easy way to do a bulk edit after the fact that would work.  Something where I can edit all 400+ entries to say whatever user-picker value is populated in the "Reporter" field automatically populate the blank custom field "Project Manager" with that same person.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

This sounds like something automation for Jira could do by creating some rules. Probably you can try looking into those areas.
