Improve Issue import CSV format with more fields

Problem to solve

As a Scrum leader/PO/developer I want a quick and convenient way to create many issues.

Intended users

• Parker (Product Manager)
• Delaney (Development Team Lead)
• Sasha (Software Developer)
• Sidney (Systems Administrator)

User experience goal

When using the Web GUI to create many issues, it quickly escalates into a lot of clicking and less writing. To save time, a user might use a separate editor to write down new issues and then import the information as a CSV file. Later when importing those a lot of information can not be included, for example as Labels, Weight, Milestone. Having to add these manually to each issue is tedious and boring work that would be much quicker if it could be imported together with title and description.

Proposal

Support more fields in the current CSV import format.

Supported today:

• Title
• Description

Wanted:

• Label
• Weight
• Milestone

Others:

• Iteration
• Due date
• Estimation
• Confidentiality
• Lock issue
• Assignees
