Import Cases from Other AIO Tests Projects
Users can copy test cases belonging to another Jira project in which AIO Tests is enabled to any other project where AIO Tests is enabled. This article describes the steps of this process.
Overview of the Process
Start the Process
To start the process of copying cases from one project to another, follow the steps below
Go to the destination project
Click on Import Cases button
Click on Other Projects tab
Select Project and Cases to Copy
From the destination project, users need to choose the source project and select cases to be copied.
By default the current project’s cases are loaded.
Select the source project from ‘Project Selector’
Search & Select cases to be copied using search/filters
Click on ‘Select Configuration’ button
Select Import Configuration
In this step, users can specify their import preferences and also choose the target folder in which the cases should be copied.
Once done, they can click on “Select Field Mapping”. They can also go back and update the cases list to be copied. The options presented on the screen are explained below.
Select Target Folder: The folder drop-down shows the folder structure of the destination project. If it is left blank/Not Assigned is selected, the folder field will be left blank and cases will be in the Not Assigned folder.
Preserve the Folder Hierarchy?:
If selected, the folder structure of the cases to be copied will be re-created in the destination project under the folder selected in the target folder
If selected and if no target folder is specified, the folder structure of the source cases will be created at the root level in the destination project. Please note, in this case, if any source case doesn’t belong to a folder, it will be copied to the Not Assigned folder in the destination project
If not selected, cases will be copied to the specified target folder of the destination project
If not selected and if no target folder is specified, cases will be copied to the the Not Assigned folder of the destination project
Deep Copy linked test cases?:
If selected, any linked cases in the source cases that belong to the source project, will also be copied to the destination project and the new case from the destination project will be linked to the copied case.
If selected, any linked cases in the source cases that belong to other projects, will be copied as links to the cases of other project
If not selected, copied cases will have a link to the cases belonging to source project as well as any other project and linked cases won’t be created as a separate case in the destination project
Add suffix to copied cases?:
If selected, “ - Copy”, will be added at the end of the title of the copied cases
If not selected, title of the copied cases will be same as the source cases
Field Mapping
If the source project has custom fields, users will be prompted to map them to existing custom fields in the destination project. Once done, users will also get an option to map the data values to values present in the destination project by clicking “Select Data Mapping”.
If destination project has multiple types of custom fields, and source doesn’t, users can map the source field to only one destination field and vice-versa
If field names are same between the two projects, they will be mapped automatically
If the fields are not mapped, those fields will not be copied
If there are no custom fields in the source project, user will directly see the Data Mapping section
Data Mapping
Users will be prompted to map values of following fields → Priority, Status, Types, Components, Release, Automation Status and all eligible custom fields.
Once done, users can click “Start Import” to start the copy process.
Viewing the Status of Import & Results
Once the user clicks on “Start Import”, a batch process will be created. The progress of the job can be viewed under the Jobs tab as shown below.
If users wish to copy cases in bulk to the same project, Bulk Copy option is available under the pencil icon on the Cases grid. Click here to learn more.
