Import information from excel to redmine

Added by Anonymous over 8 years ago

Hello,

I've found some information about this topic but actually no solution I could understand and implement. I am looking for an easy solution to import a few values from excel to redmine issues.

It is mainly about normal fields like description or date etc. I also added a few custom fields that I would like to import from Excel (another promlem I still have here is the arrangement of those fields; I would like to have more huge fields like the "description" field, is that somehow possible? I could only create those large text fields, but they are still smaller than the huge description field.)

It would be great if someone could help me. As I'm not that familiar with programming it would be great if the explanation is detailled ;)

(I installed redmine on windows via bitnami and it's the version 3.2.1-0)

Thanks!

I've found the import function now. No idea why this is mentioned nowhere...

This works fine and I can import CSV files quite well. There ist just still one problem:

I can't find an option to preset the status. All issues I import are set to the preset status new. But some imported issues are already finished which is written in the CSV file. But I don't see an option to match this status to the status in redmine...
The priority is also a predefined field but I still have the option to match it to a column of my CSV file. The problem is only about the status.

Yes, in addition i think you have to permit statuses you are setting, in redmine workflow, for new issues.

Thanks
