I'd like to import Story Points

[Yannick Oonincx]

Hi, a few weeks ago we started importing stories from a .CSV file. But unfortunately there is no JIRA field for Story Points in the External System Import. Is there a workaround or any other possibility to solve this issue?

Just add "Story Point" fields to your configured Create Screen.

and then try again.

In my case it worked

Tested this on my Jira Cloud instance and this worked.

It's still incredibly silly that this isn't easier, but this wasn't very hard.

THANK YOU! yet another quirk we were not able to figure out for way too long!

Hello @Yannick Oonincx

Please see the documentation here https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver079/importing-data-from-csv-950288822.html

You can easily import custom fields in order to do that make sure you already have the "Story points" field created in JIra and mapped to the project context and when you import the CSV then it will automatically map the "Story points" column from CSV to the field present in Jira.

If you want to import story points values to existing issues then see this answer

I do not see anything in these articles about Story Points

Both links have nothing to do with story points.

Hello @Elliot Gates 

Both links contain information about "custom fields", Story points is a "number field" custom field hence you have to import it like any other normal custom field.

...or alternatively, since this is such a common feature request, Atlassian can make it super easy and obvious by just  adding a Story Points field in the Input Field drop down box.

good grief right?  just be explicit please on Story Points as a first class citizen field like Summary, Description, Issue Type, etc.
