Project owners can use the CSV file format to import stories on the Import tab of the Dashboard. Import can be used to update existing stories in the target project or create new ones. If a row in the import file contains a value in the ID column, Tracker will attempt to update fields of the story in the target project with that ID; otherwise it will create a new story.
For instance, importing this example will update an existing story (ID = 100) and create a new one:
Id,Story,Labels,Story Type,Estimate,Current State,Created at,Accepted at,Deadline,Requested By,Owned By,Description,Note,Note
100, existing started story,"label one,label two",feature,1,started,"Nov 22, 2007",,,user1,user2,this will update story 100,,
,new story,label one,feature,-1,unscheduled,,,,user1,,this will create a new story in the icebox,note1,note2
The first row of the import file must contain column headers. The only column that is required is 'Story', all other columns are optional. For instance, importing this example will create two new stories:
Story,Description
first new story, this will be the description for one new story
second new story, and this will describe a second new story
Possible values for Current State are 'unscheduled' (meaning the story is in the icebox), 'unstarted' (in the backlog), 'started', 'finished', 'delivered', 'accepted', and 'rejected'. Options for Story Type include 'feature', 'release', 'bug', and 'chore'. Values other than those accepted should be ignored.
