The CLI can be used to import data into Jira from external systems either dynamically or as a one time load. Various techniques are available.

  1. Scripting and executing various individual CLI actions depending on the data
  2. Scripting to produce a run file of action then using the run action
  3. Creating a CSV file from an external source with or without modifications using a script and then using runFromCsv action
  4. Constructing one or more SQL statements and using runFromSql action

More information and examples are needed here! Until more documentation is available, see the release notes
