Documentation for JIRA 5.2. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

CSV import commonly used for importing mass of issues and some issues comes with attachments. In JIRA version 5.0 and earlier, it is not possible to use FILE protocol to include the attachment. HTTP protocol is the only choice to import attachment to JIRA through CSV.

1.Save the attachment (eg. filename.png) inside the following directory <JIRA_installation>/atlassian-jira/folder/ 

Example:

<JIRA_Installation>/atlassian-jira/attach/filename.png

2.Specify the URL of the 'Attachment' column within your CSV file.

Example:

CSV file
Assignee, Summary, Description, Attachment, Comment
Admin, "Issue demonstrating the CSV attachment import", "Please check the attached image below.", http://jira-server:8080/attach/filename.png, "01/01/2012 10:10;Admin; This comment works"

3.Proceed with using the CSV file import wizard.

 

JIRA 5.0 and earlier have to use HTTP protocol for CSV import, however, JIRA 5.1 and above can use FILE protocol for CSV import.
