CSV Importer - How do I pull in comments?

Hi

I am soon to import ~ 100 bugs from Pivotal Tracker to YouTrack to use as our new bug tracking system, I have completed the mappings and have been able to get test data in, however I am I have not been able to figure out how best to import comments. So far I have inadvertently created new fields called comments! :-)

Can you advise the best method to import comments?

Format of the test file I am using is:

"summary","description","comments"

"1 This is a summary","This is a description","This a comment"

Thanks

Anthony

Hello, Anthony!

Current format for comments is:

<field1>, <field_2>

<field1 value>, <field2 value>, <this column doesn't have name, so this will be the first comment>, <this will be the second comment>, <and this will be the third>

If you want to use some other format, you should modify script.

If you need any more help -- feel free to ask!

Thanks Anna, I could not find this documented anywhere - did I perhaps miss a support page? If not is this something that could be added to the help files please? As someone may encounter this in the future.

Thanks

Hello,
I am having similar issues to the original poster.  I have filed a bug report relating to the documentation. http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JT-16895

I tried adding comments using your syntax example above but get the error:
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'created'

my CSV:
Project,Summary,Reporter,Created,Updated,Description,Issue Id
newproject,summary of issue,Steve T,2012-09-04 09:41:22,2012-09-05 09:41:22,description of issue,1234,comment1,comment2,comment3

map:
