      Issue Summary

      CSV Import is failing for user in 8.13.1 whereas the same CSV file successfully imports in 8.5.1

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Kanban project with the name "TEST" and the key "TEST"
      2. Create your first task (TEST-1)
      3. Create an epic with the name "Sample Epic"
      4. Import the attached CSV file via Issues/Import Issues from CSV
      5. Validate the CSV file attached. No error is found, you'll see the message "52 issue/s will be created correctly. Success! The validator didn't find anything wrong. You can now safely begin your import!"

      Expected Results

      Sub-tasks are successfully created

      Actual Results

      Workaround #1

      The same CSV file can be inserted via External System Import.
      Jira settings > System > External System Import

      Workaround #2

       Ensure that the CSV file does not have any sub-tasks assigned to Epics (sub-tasks inherit their Epic assignment from their parent) before attempting the import.
