Importing date started from CSV to JIRA

[Alphonsa Joseph]

Hi Team,

Can anyone suggest on to which filed the values of date started from CSV has to be mapped in JIRA .Because after import I am seeing that the value of date started is the date at which the upload action is performed. It is not taking values from the provided CSV.

May be I am mapping it to wrong filed.

Can anyone suggest the right filed name to be mapped for Date started.

Hello,

When importing worklogs, you should provide worklogs in the correct format:

Summary,Worklog
Only time spent (one hour),3600
With a date and an author,2012-02-10 12:30:10;wseliga;120
With an additional comment,Testing took me 3 days;2012-02-10 12:30:10;wseliga;259200

Pay attention how the worklog field is set:

2012-02-10 12:30:10;wseliga;120

First goes the start date, then author of the worklog and then the value of the worklog.

Hello @Alphonsa Joseph 

The field "date started" is not a system field in Jira. Thus, it must be a custom field in your source JIra instance, hence you have to create a similar field in the target Jira instance while doing the import and map this field in CSV with the custom field in the target Jira.
