Importing file in other format than CSV

Aleksandra Wojtaszek September 10, 2021

Hi! Does JIRA accept imports in any other formats than CSV ?

I want to to export test tasks form Jira, change some fields and import them back to Jira.

Already at exporting, CSV file does not look good (creates more tasks than it should), so import is not correct.

Regards, Alex

Jira Cloud has four importers built in - go to Admin -> External system import and you'll see CSV, Trello, Other Jira and JSON.

Hello @Aleksandra Wojtaszek 

You are exporting search results. 

You can try exporting as XML, and then convert XML to CSV

Thank you @Olga Videc . It's already giving better results (same number of lines in export and import).

Glad to hear that ;)

Before you import, please check the csv file requirements.
