Import Stories

[Spruha Shah]

Can we import stories with sub-tasks all in one import session? 

or do we have to make 2 csv files for stories and subtasks and only do it that way ?

Hi @Spruha Shah 

You can do that by creating a column in your csv called Parent Id along with Issue Id and use any unique number for your issue and use it to create parent and sub task together.

Refer to this page for more details. I have videos and sample csv files on this topic. I hope it helps.

Hi @Spruha Shah 

You only need 1 CSV, see Importing data from CSV

Creating sub-tasks

You can create sub-tasks of issues through a CSV file import by encapsulating this structure in your CSV file. To do this:

• The CSV file must have two additional columns whose headings should be named similarly to Issue Id and Parent Id.
• Ensure that each regular (non sub-task) issue is given a unique (sequential) number in the Issue Id column. Do not include any value in the Parent Id fields for regular issues.
• To create a sub-task of a regular issue in your CSV file, reference the unique Issue Id number of the regular issue in the Parent Id column. Don't set any value in the Issue Id fields for sub-tasks.
