Import Risks

Import risks either by adding risk to existing Jira issues or importing external Excel risk registers

For external risk registers with many custom fields please consider the first option “Internal - Add risk to Jira issues“ with Jira bulk import

Internal - Add risk to Jira issues

Issues selected with JQL are assigned a “Undefined“ risk.

External - Import risks from Excel Risk Register

Remove empty starting columns and rows. The Excel column headers are parsed and mapped into four categories. Please rename Excel headers to map to the desired column.
