How to do it…
We will start with the Project Configurator add-on. We first need to create an export file of
our project configurations:
1. Navigate to the project from which configurations are to be exported.
2. Click on the
Administration
tab.
3. Click on the
Advanced export
link. You can also click on the
Export configura-
tion
link to quickly export everything.
4. Check the
Filter unused custom fields?
option as we do not want to copy over ir-
relevant configurations.
5. Set both
User export options
and
Group export options
to
Ignore invalid users
and
Ignore invalid groups
, respectively, as shown in the following screenshot.
6. Click on the
Export
button to generate the export XML file. Have a look at the
following screenshot:
Now that we have our XML output file, we can import it into another JIRA instance as fol-
lows:
1. Navigate to
Administration
|
Add-ons
|
Load project configuration
.
2. Select the XML output file.
3. Check the
Apply changes?
option.
4. Click on the
Project configuration file upload
button to start the import, as
shown in the following screenshot:
