I’m trying to do a bulk migration, by migrating hundreds of Github issues into Jira. I’ve set up my connectors and a trigger on the Jira side. When I try to bulk exalate from my Trigger I encounter a bug. Either nothing happens when bulk exalate is clicked or a modal pops up but the Exalate button does nothing. I really wanted this to work. I’ve opened an issue but have not heard back, thought I’d try reaching out here.

Hi Brian Hyman - the team is working on your case.

The reason is that github is imposing a rate limit. When exalating a lot of issues - such as for a migration, that limit will kick in.
