How to import a CSV file into JIRA 7.10

[Adrian Pottier]

I'm a bit confused about the file requirements to import issues to jira - i've looked on various sites all of which describe the file, but none of which provide an example file that I can iterate on?

With thanks, Adrian

Hi @Adrian Pottier, CSV file should have default/custom field names on the first row and the respective values starting from second row. While we import from CSV file, we have to match the field names in csv to field names in your Jira system.
I would suggest you to export few issues from your Jira instance, then delete all rows except first row in the CSV file then use it as template to import.
