Importing complete project

[Klawd]

When importing a project from another Jira server (both servers are 7.13; source is on linux, target is on windows), I receive the following error:

INFO 16:43:12,668 Project Import: Validation errors were found. The import cannot continue.
ERROR 16:43:12,668 The custom field 'Epic Status' requires option 'To Do' for the import but it does not exist in the current JIRA instance.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Hello,

Could you have a look at the destination server, if the Epic Status field has the To Do option?

[Klawd]

how do I check that?

[Alexey Matveev]

Go to the sever where you import issues. Then cog item -> issues -> custom fields.

Find the Epic Status field, three dots -> View.

The custom field is locked and I don't have the option to configure.

@Klawd, 

You need to unlock the custom field and add the value, https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-unlock-a-locked-jira-software-field-779158866.html

Thanks, that worked the process was pretty much painless.

Well, appreciated.

Thanks for the info.

hi @Klawd,

Before you import the project, you need to make sure all you project dependencies like custom fields/plugins are available in the destination server for the successful import
