Project mapping cancelled.

Error message

Project mapping cancelled.

What it means

User-abort sentinel during interactive project mapping: the operator cancelled the prompt that decides which target project imported issues map to, so the merge history flow stops instead of guessing a mapping.

Solutions

1. Re-run the command and complete the project mapping prompt instead of cancelling.
2. Pass explicit project mapping flags to skip the interactive prompt.
