Import data from Bitbucket

Before you begin

  • Users data is not exported to Jira.  However if the user already exists in Jira (and has a licence for Jira) they will remain assigned to the work item when it is imported.

  • The Jira project which work items will be imported in to is generated automatically and can found by inspecting the db-jira-cloud.json in the exported zip file.

  • Work item history is not imported into Jira

  • Attachments on the work item or on comments will only be exported if the repository and work item tracker are both public

Steps

  1. In Bitbucket, go to Projects and choose a project.

  2. Choose a repository >  Repository settings > and choose Import and export under Work items.

  3. Click Start export. This generates a zip file containing all your Jira work item data.


  4. Extract the zip file and retrieve the db-jira-cloud.json file

  5. Once you've completed the above, head over to Importing data from JSON and follow the procedure outlined there.
