There is another very slightly different export procedure for very complex boards. After you have chosen Export XML and the data opened in a separate browser in the XML format click with the right button of your mouse and first select View page source.

And only after that use Save as… to save the file to your computer.

Step 2. Import Jira data to Kanbanchi

Open the list of your Kanbanchi boards. You will see the Import board from option at the bottom of the page. Please, click Jira and upload the file.
