    Description

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

      As of The JIRA Importers Plugin 3.5.2 users no longer have the ability to prevent the importer from creating users if they do not exist within JIRA anymore. Previously they were able to do this - as from the Answers thread:

      JIRA Importers Plugin bundled with JIRA 4.4.x does not allow anymore to skip creation of the users. We decided to remove this option as the import would have failed for these rows from CVS which indicate missing usernames. That in our opinion did not make sense and we wanted to simplify the import wizard.

      Importer expects a username in CSV file, not Display Name. There is no easy work-around for it at them moment. You could either pre-process your CSV file by replacing all "Display Name" cells with corresponding users, or you could hack JIRA Importer Plugin on your own - its source it available for all JIRA commercial license holders.

      Can you please update the the following docs to have something about that in there?
