h1. HowTo import issues "Since 3.2.0":http://www.redmine.org/news/104 Redmine can import issues. In the issues tab there is a import link on the right. You can import any csv-type file. The first line must contain the column names. You can freely assign them to the different fields of an issue. h2. Notes on different Fields h3. Parent Issue If the field starts with an #, the issue with that id is referenced. If the field contains a number it references the index of the issue in the import. Note that it's not the line number as line 1 contains the header. h3. Assignee This must be the username. (Name and lastname (Might be that the Name works, tested on redmine 3.3) h3. Category and Target version During test with 3.3, the assistant allowed me to use an option to automatically create version or category. h3. Project The assistant will let you choose on which project you want to import the issue. h2. Assistant The assistant will help you (tested on 3.3): # Will ask for options with the file: too, but I didn't check.) *Field separator* *Field wrapper* *Enconding* *Date Format* !example_import_options1.jpg! # Then next step will ask for the fields to match This is very interesting, because no matter what the names of the columns are, here you map which column is which field on the issue. !example_import_csv.jpg! Attached attachment:"issues.csv" has the csv used during test with 3.3.
