Bulk add Issues for Jira Advanced Roadmap Planning

[Alexandra Wayne Harper]

I would like to know the best way to bulk add 50+ issues into jira to use for Jira advanced roadmaps release planning. I want to start planning out our releases using roadmaps and want to know the fastest way to add many issues at once. All have unique summaries and components - everything else I will fill in after planning.

Hi Alexandra,

Have you already created the issues elsewhere? Otherwise one of the advantages of advanced roadmaps is you can quickly and easily create issues in Advanced Roadmaps directly, and this tends to be faster than doing it outside the roadmap. Once you publish the changes it will create any unpublished issues. It's essentially like making CSV issues without needing the csv middleman

Otherwise you would be looking at using CSV. I would recommend using advanced roadmap if you want something a bit easier, as csv imports no matter how many times you do them something always is missed. I've done hundreds and i still miss a field or two, but advanced roadmaps takes care of that. If you want to explore csv here is the link for that too:

 Hi that makes sense. I guess I would love to give you an example to see if CSV or direct add to roadmaps is better. 

example - all summaries will be somewhat unique

Project name - Release # - Name of Deliverable (for my project this could be 4 deliverable types Copy, Spec, Assets, WIP)

If I did it on a CSV I can copy/paste all 4 deliverables 50+ times and I would only have to change the project name for each. I plan to use components as well. The rest of the fields I can update once they are in roadmaps
