Java exception while rendering CSV import

[Sven Delmas]

I am getting a Java stack trace when trying to import a CSV file. This used to work for the same file, so it would seem something has changed. I did recreate the projects to import into, but I don't see how that would impact things.

I had to cut off the stack trace as it exceeded the allowed post size. I have the complete stack available if that helps.

[Sven Delmas · Accepted solution]

This was confirmed by Atlassian as a known bug.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-68491?error=login_required&error_description=Login+required&state=70567e79-e6e5-48d3-af9d-b5cca062fcb1

The workaround seems to be to not select Issue Type for mapping.

Thanks @Sven Delmas , this worked for me.

I defined the issue type in the CSV file but did not select 'Map field value' for the issue type field.

The imported issues still ended up being created as the issue type I defined in the CSV.
