With JExcel you can create an issue like you would do in Excel.

The very first step of creating an issue is to make sure to enable Add new rows option  in the top right panel.

If it is enabled, you can see the issue creation row.

The second step is to make sure that all the mandatory columns (fields) are selected.

Mandatory fields are:

  • Issue Type (sub-task)
  • Parent issue (what issue it is releated to)
  • Summary
  • Project

If any of these columns are not selected, you can add them like this:

  • Click on the Column icon  in the upper right corner 
  • Use the search box to find the right column name 
  • Select the column you want to add by clicking in the checkbox 


When these are ready, you will have 3 options to create an issue

  • Press the button "INS"
  • Open row menu with the right-mouse click and select the Create sub-task option
  • Just start filling out the fields


When creating an issue, you can specify the following field values

  • Issue Type
  • Parent Issue
  • Summary 
  • Assignee
  • Reporter
  • Priority
  • Project



After filling out the column "Summary" and hit Enter, the issue is created.
