## Known limitations
As of GitLab 12.10, the Jira issue importer only brings across the title and description of
an issue.
The information imported into GitLab fields from Jira depends on the version of GitLab:
There is an [epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2738) tracking the
addition of items such as issue assignees, labels, comments, user mapping, and much more.
These will be included in the future iterations of the GitLab Jira importer.
- From GitLab 12.10 to GitLab 13.1, only the issue's title and description are imported
directly.
- From GitLab 13.2:
- The issue's labels are also imported directly.
- You're also able to map Jira users to GitLab project members when preparing for the
import.
Other Jira issue metadata that is not formally mapped to GitLab issue fields is
imported into the GitLab issue's description as plain text.
Our parser for converting text in Jira issues to GitLab Flavored Markdown is only compatible with
Jira V3 REST API.
