      Issue Summary

      When performing an import from the bulk creation CSV import (on the create issue screen) and set the value for a Task and its sub-tasks on the CSV file, the import troughs an error about Subtask 'test CSV' doesn't have a valid Parent Id selection. Issue will not be created.

      We got this same error in these scenarios:

      1. Setting an issue Id and parent Id arbitrary and the CSV file;
      2. Using an issue Id from an already created task in the project

      Environment

      Jira Cloud

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a CSV file with the Issue Id and Parent Id column;
      2. Use the non-admin CSV import (create issue screen > Import issue button);
      3. Mapp the columns of issue Id and parent Id
      4. Begin the CSV import

      Expected Results

      The import should create the Task and the Sub-task accordingly as in the CSV file.

      Actual Results

      The import stops with the following error:

       
      Subtask 'test CSV' doesn't have a valid Parent Id selection. Issue will not be created
      

      Notes

      Workaround

      A workaround will be run the CSV import through the External system import, accessible only by Jira administrators
