Import or Migrate Field Data

In case you are migrating or importing the field data via CSV or JSON, the following steps should help you reach your goal.

CSV

To import/migrate Extension Search Fields via CSV, use the following syntax within the appropriate column:

TEXT

....,"{""value"":""actual value"",""id"":""actualID""}",...

A real example could look like this:

TEXT

...,"{""value"":""Carter Conner"",""id"":""108""}",...

JSON

If you want to import an issue from JSON, use the following syntax to change the values:

JSON

{
  "fieldName": "Your Fields Name",
  "fieldType": "com.atlassian.forge:ari:cloud:ecosystem::extension/92050003-c2a5-4f5c-875c-fc06e3303d6c/363449ad-5c22-4677-86b3-cac59cf66deb/static/search-field",
  "value": "{ \"value\": \"Actual Value\", \"id\": \"12345\" }”
}

Automation

To automate the process of transferring data from one field to another, consider the following example: copying data from a single-select Extension Search Field (customfield_10001) to a multi-select Extension Search Field (customfield_10002).

CODE

{
    "fields": {
        "customfield_10002": {
            "values": [
                "{{ issue.customfield_10001.value }}"
            ],
            "ids": [
                "{{ issue.customfield_10001.id }}"
            ]
        }
    }
}
