    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

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

      Ensure that the JIRA export file provided by the customer is UTF-8. The encoding is specified in the XML document so it should be fairly straightforward to detect this.

      Non-UTF-8 encodings aren't supported so we should stop them from getting into the system. They can't be easily converted.

      Notes

      If this isn't done the XML backup can fail with errors as described below:
