Bulk Import into Multiple Projects

[Alex Basile]

My team has several CSV templates for creation of issues spanning multiple projects within a single epic.

In documentation of the Bulk Import CSV feature, I've seen references to a "Defined in CSV" option for choosing the upload destination project. However, I've not

Is this functionality limited to JIRA Administrators, only? Or is there a way for Project Administrators to access this functionality, as well?

Hi @Alex Basile ,

Welcome to the community!

I imagine you are using the bulk import from regular user perspective and there are few restrictions there.

The ability to create across projects using CSV is only available in Admin section, try the below steps and you will see the ability to define project in your CSV.

1. Log in to JIRA as a user with the JIRA Administrators global permission.
2. Select Administration > System > Import & Export > External System Import.
3. Select CSV to open the CSV File import page.

Thank you, @Italo _Modus Create_.

It sounds like this feature is out of reach for Project Administrators. Are there any known workarounds for users that do not have the JIRA Administrators global permission?

I'm not sure of any workaround for this at this moment, maybe there are some app in the Marketplace that can provide this feature for non admin.

Thanks for confirming!
