Is it possible to create a CSV template for a task with multiple subtasks, a description, and a Jira

[Luis Zapata]

Hi all,

I am looking to create a CSV import template to bulk create tasks in Jira with multiple subtasks. The task needs to include a description field, and within that description, I want to insert a query to pull in specific Jira issues.

To clarify:

• The parent task should have a description.
• The subtasks should be linked to the parent task.
• The description field for the parent task should include a Jira issue query (e.g., using Insert Jira issues from... functionality or similar).

Is this possible with Jira's CSV import functionality? If so, how can I structure the CSV to include this?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Luis Zapata

If you frequently perform bulk operations, consider using our app Deep Clone for Jira. It allows you to clone issues, including subtasks, custom fields, and descriptions, saving time and effort. Using Deep Clone, you can set up templates for tasks with pre-defined structures and import them as needed without relying on manual CSV uploads.

Thank you! @Yuliia Tkachenko_TitanApps_  this link works. I am able to create the subtasks with the csv template, The issue I have, is that I cannot create a query to pull in specific Jira issues in the description of the parent task.
