TrelloCSVYouTrack

📤 Export Trello Board in CSV for FREE [and optionally] Import to YouTrack.

Quickstart

You can run the desired script at the scripts/ dir:

• scripts/exporter.py to export a Trello board in CSV.
• scripts/importer.py (not implemented yet; will raise NotImplementedError).

Setup

• Copy assets/users.csv.example to assets/users.csv and replace sample rows with your Trello-to-YouTrack user mapping (header: TrelloUsername,YouTrackUsername).
• Source settings.sh from the repo root to load env vars and ensure the assets/ directory exists.
• Install deps with uv: uv sync
• Run exporter: uv run python scripts/exporter.py

Notes

• The import is tested only on the cloud version of YouTrack.
• The Trello boards as well as all other subsequent platforms are arranged [loosely] to follow the Scrum framework. Although it is not a strict requirement for the current export/import process.

Export Trello board

• Make sure you have the list of user emails.

Import into YouTrack

1. Read the official documentation.
2. Create a fresh Project (with type Scrum)
3. Attach project Workflows:
   • [OPTIONAL] attach Due Date:
     • de-activate Require due dates for submitted issues
4. [pre-import] Edit project Fields:
   • set Type of Story points to float: to allow CSV values of float to be merged (YouTrack does not accept integer when importing from CSV).
   • set Type of Assignee to Multiple values: again, to allow CSV values to be merged and not to create a duplicate field (YouTrack imports user as multi-value field).
   • [OPTIONAL] define Priority values
   • [OPTIONAL] select the desired Default Value of Priority
   • [OPTIONAL] set Default Value of Priority to the desired value
   • [OPTIONAL] set Default Value of Type to User Story
5. Import the CSV via Integrations > Imports
6. [post-import] Edit project Fields:
   • [OPTIONAL] set Type of Story points to integer
   • [OPTIONAL] set Type of Assignee to Single value

Importer stub (roadmap)

• Intended input: the CSV produced by scripts/exporter.py (assets/trello-board.csv), plus the user mapping from assets/users.csv.
• Intended behavior: create new YouTrack issues (or update existing ones by ID) populating Summary, Description, State, Sprint, Story Points, Assignee(s), Due Date, and preserving Created/Author where possible via YouTrack fields.
• Environment: uses YOUTRACK_API_BASE_URL and YOUTRACK_PERM_TOKEN loaded via settings.sh.
• Implementation is still missing in scripts/importer.py; add field mapping and issue create/update logic when ready.
