- Using issuetype.csv
as a test file, considering that the Service Desk Test project did not have a default issue type, the following outcomes were observed:
Option Map Field Value Option Has Default Issue Type Outcome Import to Project Unchecked No 
Works as expected 
Import to Project Checked No Works as expected Defined in CSV Unchecked No Works as expected Defined in CSV Checked No Error is returned Defined in CSV Checked Yes Works as expected *Work as expected if the issue type defined in the CSV file is mapped at the project, if it is not mapped, then it will fail
Workaround
- Use one of the options where the problem was not observed, as defined in the table above
