How to import Stories from .CSV?
« on: October 01, 2019, 08:34:35 pm »
I have a list of issues that I exported from Jira. I am trying to import them into EA as User Stories using the .csv import. The type however does not seem to be recognized.

I have tried the following for types in the .csv:

Issue
Story
UserStory
User Story
EAUserStory

The only one in that list that works is "Issue", the rest are rejected. Where can I find a list of Types?

There is a list of valid types in the manual: https://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.0/automation/element2.html
Check for the documentation in of the field Type

Things like UserStory are implemented as stereotypes (on something like "Change" or "Requirement")

Thanks for the link, it has just the info I needed.  :)

I noticed that User Story look like an artifact. Jira talks about "issues". I guess I'll just have to pick one based on our needs. I see requirement or even use case more appropriate for a User Story.

In any case, I got my answer, thanks again! :)

If you are using a profile that defines user stories, epics etc... there will be stereotypes defined for each of those things.
If you remove the stereotype you can see the base element type to use for things like CSV export/import
