Issue Summary

When importing issues via External System Import with JSON format Jira does not set the Security level.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure Security levels on project to have security level "Level 1" (don't set Default levels)
2. Go to External System Import > JSON
3. Adjust below Json to your project and use it for import:

{  "projects": [
        {
            "key": "SAMPLE",
            "issues": [
                {
                    "externalId": "1",
                    "summary": "Test Security Level",
                    "issueType" : "[System] Service request",
                    "security": "Level 1"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Expected Results

Issue is created with Security Level set to "Level 1"
