How AgileZen Stories are Imported to YouTrack
When you import your data from AgileZen to YouTrack, your AgileZen projects, stories and tasks are imported according to the following rules:
- For each of your AgileZen project, a new project with the same name is created in YouTrack.
- A story becomes an issue with the "Type" field set to "Feature". In YouTrack Agile mode, by default, a feature (that is, AgileZen story) forms a swimlane.
- A task becomes an issue with the "Type" field set to "Task", which is linked to the imported story as "subtask".
- Story comments are imported as corresponding issue's comments.
