stories not shown in the epic export views

Question

hi,

using jira 8.3.  if i select an epic and use 'export' - (either printable view,word or even the xml) it shows everything except the stories themselves.

it does show sub tasks, just not stories and i cant figure out where or how to amend this.

can anyone point me to the right place to amend the export template please.

thanks

using JQL gives what we want. but the exportable format is great for some non technical teams to create a report in a very readable format.

i'll check out the plug in- thanks for that.

there just seems to be no logic as to why it includes tasks and sub tasks of stories- but not the stories themselves.

Hi Charlie,

I'm not aware of any Out-of-the-Box way to do precisely what your asking about. There is an add-on called Xporter that looks like it may do what your looking for though.

Alternatively, if you have ScriptRunner, you could create a JQL query that surfaces the issue and all issues linked to it, and then export that list. Something like this:

issuekey = KEY-123 OR issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf('issuekey=KEY-123')
