Import Risks
- Johan Brodin
Import risks by adding risk assessment to existing Jira issues or importing external Excel risk registers
1. Internal - Add risk to existing Jira issues
Select issues with JQL. Then select issue risk custom fields (value blank or 0-4 as number or string). If no custom fields are selected inherent/residual risk will be set to “Undefined“.
2. External - Import risks from Excel
For external risk registers with assignee and many custom fields. The first option “Internal - Add risk to Jira issues“ with Jira bulk import might be a better match
There are four types of Excel risk columns. Please rename your Excel headers to those and also remove empty starting columns and rows (download example excel).
