      Issue Description

      Currently, the Automation rule import wizard contains very limited options, which can make it very tedious/unpractical to import a JSON file containing a big number of rules.

      Suggestions

      Some improvements to the wizard that help sys-admins save time especially on large instances:

      • An option to select all rules when importing
      • An option to select all active rules when importing
      • UI should differentiate rules that have the same name (maybe show the project context / rule ID)
      • An option to import rules in its exported state (vs DISABLED by default)
      • Option to import rule labels and create them if missing
      • Option to overwrite rules (if the rule id, name and context matches)
      • Option to import rule owners (will need to add it to the export)
        • Import should honor “actorAccountId”/“authorAccountId” values defined in source JSON and map them accordingly after importing the rule (given that provided usernames exist in the target system)
      • Ability to map custom fields and custom fields options that have different IDs on source and destination instances

            A4J 8.1 1 will provide ability to select all rules in the import screen.

            I have a couple of additional suggestions, which Atlassian Support said I should comment with on this ticket for their inclusion:

            1. Each time you import a rule, the Owner and Actor fields get set to the person running the import. I would like those to always stay the same as what they were when the rule was first written. I currently have to go in and update one or both after an import
            2. It would be nice if the export/import process kept labels intact. I currently need to reassign labels to the rules each time they're imported, and if I deleted the old versions first, the labels disappear altogether
