How to import sub-task in csv to existing parents in jira?

[Sabina Napierala]

Hi, 
How to import new sub-task in CSV to existing parents in jira? I want to match tasks(parents) that already exists in jira with sub-task (childs) which are new.  What fields do I need to fill in in csv to make such a connection?

Hi Sabina - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Just add a column to your CSV for Parent. Then put the issue key of the existing Parent into that column for the sub-task. For example, ABC-123

Summary           Parent          

Sub-task 1          ABC-123

Sub-task 2          ABC-123

Sub-task 3          ABC-123
