Note
titleJIRA incompatibility with Mantis 1.2

Due to changes in Mantis 1.2, JIRA is currently unable to import data from this version of Mantis. Please refer to JRA-19558 for further information. JIRA should still be able to import data from earlier versions of Mantis.

If you are using JIRA 4.3 or later and update the JIRA Importers (JIM) Plugin to the latest version, you will be able to import issues from Mantis 1.1.8 to 1.2.4.

JIRA can import data from Mantis, an open-source PHP-based bug tracker. The Mantis import is similar to the Bugzilla importer (just expecting a different database format), so please refer to the Bugzilla documentation for a walkthrough.

(warning) Before you begin, please backup your JIRA data.

In addition to the Bugzilla importer's features, the Mantis importer also:

  1. Creates a custom field, "Mantis Link", containing a link to the old Mantis bug URL. This field can be hidden when no longer useful.
  2. Creates a custom field, "Mantis ID", containing the mantis bug ID (useful for searching)
  3. Creates and uses a custom "Not a bug" resolution type.
  4. Converts Mantis links (#1234) to JIRA links (TST-123) in text.
