Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Import from | Choose if you want to import from an uploaded file or if you want to import from a URL |
URL | Protocol, Hostname and Port of where to find the external JSON file. Example: http(s)://example.com/rest/api/service or file:///opt/csv/example.json |
| File | Choose from your uploaded files (or upload one file directly). Note that the file will be uploaded to the Jira server and need to be replaced if new data should be imported. |
Username | Optional username for basic authentication |
Password | Optional password for basic authentication You can set a password when you create a JSON import configuration. If you then come to edit your JSON import later, the password field will be disabled. If you want to edit the password, you have to check the Change value checkbox provided adjacent to the Password field as shown in the screenshot below.
To save your edited password, make sure you keep the Change value checkbox checked until you click on the Next button. If you uncheck it accidentally, the password field is disabled again with its original value retained and the newly entered password will not be saved. |
