Why we can't see issue key when importing issues from CSV?

[Jason Liu]

Hi, we're using Jira server 8.5.2. We want to import field value to existing issues. When we import, we can't see issue key in the Jira field. Is there any reason?

Hi @Jason Liu ,

issue key is automatically associated by JIRA during impot process and you can force because it could cause inconsistences (two ticket with the same key).

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hi Fabio, I thought we could use this import function to update existing issues' custom fields. I saw some documentations and it introduced this function.
