Bulk import to multiple issues

This page explains how to efficiently import CSV files to populate tables in multiple Jira issues, saving time and effort.

File format

To import a table, the CSV file must include both the table's configuration and data, separated by commas or semicolons. The CSV file should match the configuration of the table that is to be imported and must contain an additional column on the left side for the issue key.

To include a table with multiple rows in the CSV file, duplicate the issue key for each table row.

If the table has any select lists or user picker columns, please make sure to include the select list option IDs and user picker IDs in the CSV export file. The IDs are required on import to the table.

Import

To import table data, follow the steps:

  1. To import the table, go to Apps in the top navigation and select Tables.

  2. Click ‘Actions’ (…) button and choose ‘Bulk import from CSV’.

  3. Next, select the table that needs to be imported from the dialogue.

  1. Click ‘Browse’ to upload the CSV file with table data.

  2. Specify the delimiter for the uploaded file.

Importing data does not overwrite or replace the existing table data. The imported data is added as new rows.

  • For an empty table, the import can be used to populate the table.

  • If the table already contains rows, the existing data remains unchanged and the imported data is added as additional rows.
