Jira importer

This node app converts a Jira xml export into a Focalboard archive. To use:

Open Jira advanced search, and search for all the items to export
Select Export, then Export XML
Save it locally, e.g. to jira_export.xml
Run npm install from within focalboard/webapp
Run npm install from within focalboard/import/jira
Run npx ts-node importJira.ts -i <path-to-jira.xml> -o archive.focalboard (also from within focalboard/import/jira)
In Focalboard, click Settings, then Import archive and select archive.focalboard

Import scope and known limitations

Currently, the script imports each item as a card into a single board. Note that Jira XML export is limited to 1000 issues at a time.

Users are imported as Select properties, with the name of the user.

The following aren't currently imported:
