How to import the correct value of the Original Estimate Field using CSV?

Solution

The value of the original estimate field should be in seconds in the CSV file. It's calculated as follows:

  • (The value in days) x 8hours/day x 3600 seconds/hours = The value in seconds.

Given that the day is 8 hours in the Time Tracking setting

Example:

Original Estimate = 2d

2days x 8hours/day x 3600 seconds/hours = 57600 seconds.

The CSV file should be as follows:

1 2 Issue key,Issue Type,Summary,Original Estimate 1, Task, test issue,57600

A new issue will be created with original estimate of 2 days.
