      Creating issues using the CSV importer

      Importing work log entries
      Your CSV file can contain work log entries. For example:

      Summary,Worklog
      Only time spent (one hour),3600
      With a date and an author,2012-02-10 12:30:10;wseliga;120
      With an additional comment,Testing took me 3 days;2012-02-10 12:30:10;wseliga;259200
      To track time spent, you need to use seconds.

      Importing cascading choice custom fields
      You can import values to a cascading choice custom field using the following syntax:

      Summary, My Cascading Custom Field
      Example Summary, Parent Value -> Child Value

      The '->' separator allows you to import the hierarchy.
