This article explains how to create issues in bulk from a CSV using Jira Command Line Interface (CLI).

Instructions

Create a CSV file with the below columns:
- project refers to the project key.
- type is the issue type.
- summary is the issue summary.
- description is the issue description.
- priority is the issue priority.
- assignee is the issue assignee.
  Image Modified
Combine runFromCsv with the --file parameter and createIssue action to create issues in bulk. This example works because the CSV file contains the data that is required for the createIssue action with relevant parameters.
Code Block
theme Midnight
--action runFromCsv --file createissues.csv --common "--action createIssue"

Info
Additional columns can be added for custom fields and a list of supported custom fields have been documented in in Custom Field Types It is recommended to test this scenario in a non-production environment or run the action with the --simulate parameter, to verify the behavior before deploying on a production environment.
