How do export rank field readable for a human ?

Question

The PO of my project does not has access to jira. So we need to priorize stories at our jira and send to him, so he can  see and fill the priority and sent back to us.
I would like to use rank field to do this, but the content of the field can not be easily undertanded by human. I did not find any place to change de format of this field  and i don't have any other idea

We used Structure to do this and write back the human readable rank to Jira Server but unfortunately Structure effectors aren't supported in the cloud at this point I believe

Hello @lredlich ,

Another possible option, if you have the Structure plugin, is to create a structure including the desired issues, include "ORDER BY Rank ASC" in an automation, and then create a "Sequential Index" column. This will create a numerical column that will "stick" to each row in case you sort on another column later. Your structure can then easily be exported to excel. You might even be able to get away with a small python chron job to periodically export the structure for your PO via Jira's REST API. Good luck!
