Occasionally, there is a need to customise the CSV Importer to use more advanced operations. For example, it is possible to have Jira search for users using its Full Name instead of searching for a First Name Last Name combination To implement these features you will just need to add the property to the properties file created for the CSV Import.

Below is a list of the extra properties currently available.

Property Key Description Available Values
duplicate Creates a duplicate field containing the same value  
settings.advanced.mapper.user Sets the mapper used to search for current users
  • com.atlassian.jira.imports.csv.mappers.FirstInitialFirstNameUserMapper - Expects users that are in the format John Smith and creates users with the name jsmith
  • com.atlassian.jira.imports.csv.mappers.FullNameUserMapper - Expects users that are in the format John Smith and creates users with name johnsmith
  • com.atlassian.jira.imports.csv.mappers.ConcatNameMapper - Expects usernames that are in the format JSmith and creates users with name jsmith
settings.advanced.mapper.comment Set the mapper used to create comments
  • com.atlassian.jira.imports.csv.mappers.SimpleCommentMapper - Default comment mapper
  • com.atlassian.jira.imports.csv.mappers.PvcsComment - Parses comments from a specific format to create comments with the right author and date. See JRA-6199

Attached is an example of how the properties are used.
