Creating a lot of Issues

Sometimes you need to create multiple issues that follows a pattern. On Jira UI, you can clone and issue, change the values or move the issue to another type/project, but this is slow, and unnecessarily creates change history. Instead of this manual approach, you can use the ATLAS CLI for Jira to create them very fast.

It is not easy to enter all required field values on the command line. You can create a JSON file and redirect this JSON file to “issue create” command. You can ask the CLI to generate a template JSON file for you:

This will create a file named template-issue.json in the current directory.
