CSV Import - how to preserve whitespace?

[Janene Pappas]

I'm working on importing all of a team's issues from Github via a .csv file and am struggling with getting the whitespace in a field preserved during the import. I've read the doc and it says: 

Treating special characters literally

Use double-quote marks (") around a section of text to treat any special characters in that section literally. Once this data is imported, these special characters will be stored as part of Jira's field data. Examples of special characters include carriage returns/enter characters, commas, etc.

So I've attempted to put "\n" in the .csv file for those fields and I get the text just all run together on one long line with "\n" in where I expect whitespace, like so:

Imported from GitHub"\n\n"Assignee: "\n"Labels: Team-Espresso,iOS"\n"

What should I put in the .csv to have it look like this:

Imported from GitHub

Assignee:

Labels: Team-Espresso,iOS

TIA!
