Workaround

End-users may use Jira Align REST API to import/update work items. There are methods available for either creating new work items (POST) or updating pre-existing ones (PUT (full updates, work item replacement) or PATCH (partial updates)).

Please review the Help Center's API 2.0 resource hub page for details on Jira Align REST APIs.

Atlassian Support is unable to provide customers with "ready-to-use scripts". Support can, however, assist customers with crafting their Jira Align REST API calls themselves with the proper payloads, based on their particular needs.
Please raise a Support ticket should further assistance be needed.
