要約

It is not well known that you can add new options to custom fields, such as a Select List custom field, via a .csv External System Import. This article aims to shed some light on this process as it can assist admins in creating/updating those fields!

Preparing the CSV file

You'll need a .csv file with at least three columns: Issue Key, Summary and the Custom Field column. You can add multiple custom fields at once by increasing the columns on the .csv file.

By informing an existing Issue Key in that column, we'll have Jira update it with the new values added to that custom field instead of creating new unnecessary Issues. As such, you can use a test issue just for the purpose of this update

issue key, summary, custom field
PKEY-1000,,Value 1
PKEY-1000,,Value 2
PKEY-1000,,Value 3
PKEY-1000,,Value 4

Make sure to add new values on each row!

The Import

To import the data, follow the steps outlined in this article, making sure to map our three columns to the appropriate fields:

An empty Summary column will prevent unnecessary or unwanted updates to the issue's Summary!

Jira will process your .csv file and for each option, it finds on the file that does not already exist as a valid option in the custom field, it'll add that value as an option.

After the Import process is finished, you should see the values informed in the .csv as valid options added to the mapped field!
