Issue: 

Project Import doesn't include remote/web links.

CSV import doesn't respect remote links. 

Actual behavior:

When you import a project from Instance A into Instance B, if there's an Application Link cross linking issues, the Remote Links are not carried over. 

Steps to reproduce:

Instance A has ATP-1 issue linking AWD-1 issue that belongs to Instance B. When importing the ATP project into Instance B, the link should be kept and updated to reflect to the correct place.

Expected behavior:

Have the remote links imported into the instance.

Workaround:

• Import project into target instance 
• Run the following API command on the source instance  for all issues you need to copy the remote links for:

GET URLOFSOURCE/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/remotelink

Here's an example of the JSON returned:

{
"id": 10001,
"self": "http://10.125.88.109:8080/jira730/rest/api/2/issue/KRIS-11/remotelink/10001",
"application": {},
"object": {
"url": "https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/issue-getRemoteIssueLinks",
"title": "test",
"icon": {
"url16x16": "https://docs.atlassian.com/favicon.ico"
},
"status": {
"icon": {}
}
}
}

Take the body of that JSON and post it to the Target instance using this call:

POST URLORTARGET/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/remotelink

{
"id": 10001,
"self": "http://10.125.88.109:8080/jira730/rest/api/2/issue/KRIS-11/remotelink/10001",
"application": {},
"object": {
"url": "https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/issue-getRemoteIssueLinks",
"title": "test",
"icon": {
"url16x16": "https://docs.atlassian.com/favicon.ico"
},
"status": {
"icon": {}
}
}
}

As there is no reformatting of the JSON needed to post the links to the target, this should be VERY easy to script.
