The story

The pain

We're trying to bulk-import data into Jira, but the CSV import tool is unreliable and opaque. There's no dry run to validate field mappings, so errors silently create issues with empty fields. The configuration for custom fields, especially select lists, is needlessly complex and forces us to use dummy projects and screens just to map attributes. This makes the whole process untrustworthy and wastes hours of our time.

you can’t validate the creation with a dry run to make sure fields and values map correctly.

If you make errors in some field values, the issue still gets created but those fields will be empty. And the import report doesn't tell you.

The way that they want the CSV configured is such utter nonsense. You're de facto forced to assign it to a ticket, but you can use dumby tickets, and dumby projects, and dumby screens... nothing makes sense. And it makes me not trust at all that I'm mapping the attributes to the Custom Field.
