I have a problem with the import from CSV to Youtrack - import "Links"
I´m going to explain the problem that I have.
According to the documentation, if I want to import Links from my CSV, I should add one more column, which would be called links and the format should be: “LINK_TYPE_1,1,2”.
Given the case that, I want to import a project incident "PPIT-104" which I would like to be a subtask of an existing one "PPIT-101".
I Add the additional column called Links in my csv, this action I show you in the next image:
And my mapping it is the following:
So my query is the following:
1.- What is the correct format for Links? To test, I put the following: Subtask, PPIT-101, PPIT-104. Is that the correct one or please give me the correct format?
2.- Is it correct to put in the mapping: "Links": "Links"?
thank you, I hope you can help me

Hello,
I have responded in the corresponding support ticket you've created.
For further reference, "Links" shouldn't be put in the mapping file as it may confuse the script. Also, delimiters should be set accurately.
An example of my mapping file:
{"__help__": "For instructions, see: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/standalone/Import-from-CSV-File.html#build-mapping-file",
"csv_field_delimiter": ",",
"csv_value_delimiter": ";",
"date_format_string": "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
"field_names": {
"Project ID": "project_id",
"Project": "project_name",
"Issue Id": "numberInProject",
"Summary": "summary",
"Created": "created",
"Reporter": "reporterName"
},
"field_types": {
},
"use_markdown": "no"
}
An example of my CSV file to check the import:
If you face any problems, please don't hesitate to ask.
Anastasia,
I'm faced with what I think is a related problem.
I'm looking to import from google sheets. As indicated above I've added a links column with a value of Relates,TI-8 where TI-8 is an existing issue. The import work is but the link is not created. Then I'm reading the import documentation again and it says links is a reserved word and values imported with that column header won't be imported. So I'm confused. Where am I going wrong?
Also, what would be the approach to import 2 tasks at the same time and establish links (i.e. the 2nd being related to the first) - do I need to supply 2 unique values for Issue Id as in your example - I wasn't aware that I could arbitrarily assign my own issue ids. If the project I want to add these new issues to already exists than I would specify an Issue Id prefixed with the existing Project ID and just ensure that the numeric portion of the Issue Id is unique?
Thanks,
Hello Jack,
Do you use the built-in import from google sheets? What YouTrack version do you have? Would you mind creating a support request and providing all the details there: https://youtrack-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=66282 ?
Thank you.
