Problem to solve

Currently, the CSV Import only imports 2 fields (name, description), even though the CSV Export contains many more fields.

This issue is about importing an additional field, which is currently ignored - labels.

Proposed solution

GitLab would search for labels in the CSV header when doing the import.

GitLab would look at that field and do a matching of what is in that field, and to all assignable labels to the GitLab project for that import. If there is a match, then GitLab will assign that label. Multiple matches (ties of the same title) are broken arbitrarily. So the result is that you can assign multiple labels in this import, per issue.
