Create Bulk JIRAs for Factory Failures

[yogendra poudel]

Hi,

I have a need to create 20-30 JIRAs at a time, every two weeks.

Right now, I create one jira at a time, and this is time consuming.

Is it possible (via API) that I can have a script create bulk JIRAs?

Thanks.

Yep, you should be able to do that. There's documentation with an example how to use the REST API here:

https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-example-create-issue-7897248/

If you're looking to create a script, some languages have modules that the community has created you can use to help you here, such as this one for Python (note that these are not built or supported by Atlassian):

https://jira.readthedocs.io/en/master/

If you're creating the same tickets every two weeks (like for recurring tasks), you can use something like The Scheduler app to schedule issues.

@yogendra poudel You can use CSV import feature of JIRA to create bulk issues in a JIRA project. Please refer this document for more information on how to do this: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/creating-issues-using-the-csv-importer-939938927.html

Hope it helps !
