Printing

[Simon Cahill]

Hi I want to see a field I have added when I print to PDF. 

I am happy with the fields I have but would like to add more.

How do I set this?

Hi @Simon Cahill would it be possible to get a little more context about what you are trying to do?  Where are you printing, what are you printing, and any more details that might be helpful. Thanks,

Hi Dan, I am trying to print a business space team managed task. And I want to see all the fields that are necessary when printing to a PDF. I have added a field called purchase order but it does not show when printing.

Hi @Simon Cahill 

What are you printing as pdf and what extra field do you want to see?

Hi @Simon Cahill 

Unfortunately, Jira does not have a feature to automatically print/export an issue with specific fields once it gets created. Here are the options that can provide you with something similar:

1 - Manually export issues to CSV:

You can select a specific set of fields of a specific set of issues and properly export them to a CSV file, which can be opened in any spreadsheet software or converted to PDF. These would be the steps:

• At the header of the page, click on Filters > Advanced issue Search
• Create a JQL query returning the issues you want to include in the export
• On the right side of the query, select to display it in List view
• Select the columns/fields you want to export
• At the top-right corner, click to export > Export Excel CSV (Current fields)

2 - Create a custom field to collect the summary of the fields

You can create a custom field to concatenate the values of all the fields you want, using automation with smart values to collect those values at the issue creation. These would be the steps:

• Create a paragraph custom field
• Add the field to your project screens
• Create an automation rule to copy the values of the fields you need into the new custom field, using smart values. E.g:
