Simplified Project Setup with Backlog's New Import/Export Feature
Nulab, a company headquartered in Fukuoka, Japan, has made a significant update to its project and task management tool,
Backlog. The new import and export functionality addresses common pain points experienced by users, such as repetitive setup processes and the risk of configuration errors. By enabling project settings to be saved as files for future use, this feature significantly reduces the workload associated with initiating projects while enhancing operational consistency and efficiency.
Understanding the Import and Export Feature
The recently added import-export capability allows users to save the configuration details of existing projects as files. When creating new projects, they can load these settings from the saved files, thereby eliminating the need to start from scratch. This streamlines project management processes, fostering a smoother and more stable setup experience. It is worth noting that the custom attributes feature will be supported in future updates, allowing even greater flexibility for users.
Key Settings Included in the Template
- - Type of Issues (Name, Background Color, Template)
- - Status of Issues (Including Custom Status)
- - Categories
- - Release Version/Milestone (Name only)
- - Text Formatting Rules (Markdown / Backlog)
- - Settings for Parent-Child Issues, Wiki, Git, etc.
Please note: This function is only available during the creation of new projects and cannot be applied to existing projects. Milestone start and end dates are not included.
Available Plans and User Eligibility
The import and export features are accessible across all plans of
Backlog, including free plans, although they do not apply to the enterprise plan. Users with administrative rights can take advantage of this new functionality by exporting settings from existing projects and importing them into new project templates.

Boosting Project Management Efficiency
This new functionality represents a significant step forward in improving the efficiency of project setup tasks. By removing cumbersome initial settings, team members can focus on driving projects forward, enabling them to maximize productivity. Standardizing rules and best practices further raises overall team performance and facilitates effective team management. Nulab is committed to continuing the development of tools that support various work styles, providing strong backing for teams' progress and success.
