    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Currently the CSV import feature does not support Multi-Level Cascading Select fields (that are provided via the Multi-Level Cascading Select plugin).

      This can be inconvenient for some users who would like to use this field during CSV imports. Hence, it would be useful if the CSV import supports the usage of the Multi-Level Cascading Select field.

            Thanks for the response, Jarrod. I'm currently on JaaS and have no plans to move or use a plugin for functionality that works in one section of Jira and not another.

             Hey Lee, I have come across this issue myself in the past.

            I see there is an app on the market place, why don't you give the trial a try and see how it goes from there?

            Are you considering moving to cloud by any chance? I'm considering making an app for fun, and this may be a good first project.

            8 years gathering interest. Sounds about right. We get a comment once every six months on this one so it's my turn to poke the embers. 

            This is still an issue and is causing a lot of wasted effort on my team. I'd ask for an update from Atlassian but, yeah ... I know, communicating with their customers isn't their strong point.

            This feels like a pretty important bug to fix. Atlassian you should include in the custom fields documentation that this cannot be imported.

            even a CSV import of a standard select list (non-cascading) would be great! This can't be done yet.

            We have about 300+ fields in the child list that aren't getting mapped, so you can understand how manual that can be.

            Would love an update on this please.

            @Joshua Wyss: I think this issue is actually for the plugin - I did manage to import values into a Cascading Select List using the 'Parent Value -> Child Value' format described in the documentation.

            Because it isn't possible to do importing multi-level cascading select fields via CSV, we are considering flattening our issue (ie. getting rid of the cascading selects). It would be a very useful feature to us.

            @Amir Katz. this suggestion is for the Cascading Select List that is built into Jira by Atlassian not for the plugin.
