How to bulk export archived issues/projects?

Patricia Johansson

We are migrating from Server to Cloud, and we are not migrating anything in the archive. However we would like to be able to export all issues in the archive to have as a backup for referencing. Under Issues > Archived Issues, I can see them all but if exporting from that page I only get limited info.

 

The user requirement behind having the archived issues exported is so we can reference it to see why certain decision were made (as some devs might not work with us anymore). So the comments would be needed as well.

I can see I can access further information through calling, but wondering if there is a version for ALL archived issues:
https://jira.[INSTANCENAME].io/rest/api/latestissue/[ISSUEKEY]?expand=names,renderedFields

HI @Patricia Johansson 

As I see in the doc of Archiving issues in Jira Data Center:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/archiving-an-issue-968669980.html

There is an API to get all exported issues: 

2/archiving?all=true/rest/internal/

Then I guess you can also you expand param on that API... 

There is also a doc explaining how to export archiving issues data using SQL: 
https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-report-on-archived-issues-in-jira-data-center-1018765779.html 

And with this solution you can collect all datas from all archived issues. 

I hope it helps. 

Cheers,
