CSV or External System Import automatically creates "Developers" project role

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Expected Behavior

      Use current project roles or warn administrators about the creation of new roles.

      Actual Behavior

      When a CSV import defines a new project or you create a new project during an import from an external system (Github, for example), the "Developers" project role is re-created when it had been renamed or deleted earlier on. The administrator is not informed of so by any means.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Rename or delete a default project role;
      2. Import a CSV file that defines a new project (could contain just the project name, key and an issue summary); or create a new project when importing from an external system;
      3. Notice the default roles are re-created;

      Workaround

      The issue only replicates on CSV importer via the External System Import. Use the non-admin CSV file import wizard instead.

      Additional Notes

      You can check for projects created during an import, which will add this role, by searching JIRA's logs with the below regular expression.
