      Workaround

      Possible workarounds:

      1. A simple JSON to CSV converter does not work. You have to re-format the data using something like the https://bitbucket.org/Enharmonic/bitbucket-to-jira-issue-conversion tool (that is outdated and not supported).
      2. Download and install a test JIRA Server (latest release) locally. Use the native BB importer to import the issues in there. Follow the steps in below KB to merge the 2 instances together (since you only have 1 Cloud instance you can skip step #1 of the KB):
