While Importing Custom Field Values but Jira importing issues as well.

Hey,

When I am importing Custom Field to Jira it is also importing the issues which I don't want is there any work around ?

Hi @Muhammad Moazzam Hassan 

You can't import values of custom fields to Jira, using the import wizard. That wizard imports only issues. The only way to create/update values for a custom field is by using REST API.

Hey @Alex Koxaras _Relational_ ,

There is a way from that we  can import custom fields from CSV files, but the drawback is it will create new issues against each custom field value

Yes, that's because it's an issue import.
