Hi everyone,
I know this is an often discussed issue, but all solutions that I have found so far are not working for me.
The case on hand is, that we try to import a number of tasks using .csv documents. These tasks should also include already existing comments. The following structure is what I have been using until now and it works as hoped (which is weird, as I am not using " " around text elements, which is advised in the instructions and only then it works or using \\ for line spacings, which as some suggested should also not work):
Issue Type, Status, Summary, Assignee, Reporter, Due Date, Description
Task,Backlog,Test Task 3,<email>,<email>,01/01/2025 12:00,This text is a test\\This text is a second row test\\This text is a second row test
As soon as I include in the first row ",Comment" and at the end of the second row
, 01/12/2024 12:00; 71...8ab; TEST COMMENT
the import is not able to find any data for all columns but one, as shown in the screenshot
Things I have tried:
- "01/12/2024 12:00; 71...8ab; TEST COMMENT"
- "01/12/2024 12:00"; 71...8ab; "TEST COMMENT"
- Adjust the day/time format
I hope my explanation is not to confusing. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
We managed to solve the issue in the meantime by accident. We exchanged the Atlassian ID of the commenting user with their email address. Seems to be working, though instructions by Atlassian seem to suggest using the ID would be the way to go.
Solution is:
"Date;Email of User;Comment" (no spacing between ; and content)
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
