      Summary

      JIRA fails to import a project using JSON. If the project contains a custom ranking field, it will be added to JIRA even if the import fails.

      Environment

      • JIRA 7.1.9

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Deploy a fresh JIRA 7.1.9 instance.
      2. Create a new Scrum project named TEST.
      3. Create 3 stories.
      4. Rank the stories.
      5. Add a new custom field of type Global Rank with the name Test Rank.
      6. Rebalance all fields in System > LexoRank management > Balance all fields.
      7. On Manage add-ons, enable the modules searchrequest-json and issue-json on the jira-importers-plugin.
      8. Run the JQL query project = TEST ORDER BY Rank ASC
      9. Click Export > JSON and save the results as a JSON file.
      10. Deploy another fresh JIRA 7.1.9 instance.
      11. Navigate to System > External System Import > JSON.
      12. Select the previously exported JSON file and click Begin Import
      13. The import will fail.
      14. Navigate to Issues > Custom Fields.
      15. Notice how the Test Rank field was added even though the import failed.

      Expected Results

      The import completes successfully.

      Actual Results

      The import fails and generates the log below. However, the Test Rank field will be created in JIRA.
