[JRACLOUD-61118] Possibility to import external web-links from CSV into issue links
Hi everyone,
As a workaround, it can be done programmatically using Create or update remote issue link REST API call.
curl --request POST \ --url 'https://siteURL.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/ABC-11/remotelink' \ --user 'email@example.com:<api_token>' \ --header 'Accept: application/json' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "application": {}, "object": { "url": "https://atlassian.com", "title": "Atlassian Website", "status": { "icon": { "url16x16": "https://google.com/favicon.ico" } } } }'
You need to create api_token from your Atlassian Account profile using the below link and use it the API calls.
https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
You can create a bulk update by modifying the command above in excel with the SUBSTITUTE formula to enter the issuekey and links parameters.
As a first step, following the usual patterns in the CSV file would be very convenient (and, presumably, relatively simple to implement):
- [link title|link target]
- Use multiple columns for multiple links
As a second step, automatically recognize links to Confluence pages as Confluence links.

Importing more than 300 issues from an external ticketing system and need the links back to the originals in Jira - looks like I'll be busy for a while...
