Create Word-Document based on Jira-Issue using the Jira API

Question

Hello Together,

we are working/looking for some solution to create a custom word document based on some Jira Fields of a Jira Issue.

For this we currently use the Jira REST API to get the necessary Fields from a given Issue.

Number and Text fields are no problem. Unfortunately, we also need to use formatted Fields like this one:

The API just give us here some JSON (default) or ADF / XML Result.

Is there any easy solution or way to convert this result into a Microsoft Word Compatible form?

The final result should be a Word Document base on a Template, the data/fields from a given Jira issue and some additional calculations and tables based on an Excel File.

Currently we use Word, Excel, PowerQuery and VBA to get the Data for the given Issue with the Jira API and to create the Word File.

@Jörg Jäger Look in the Marketplace for the plugin XPORTER, with this plugin you can implement your wishes. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/891368/xporter-export-issues-from-jira?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi8akzbq_-wIVyPZRCh2O3ACREAAYASAAEgIB-fD_BwE

@lintek214 This is not what Jörg needs. As he mentioned, he wants to create a specific Word document. Therefore, in my opinion, the standard Word export is not useful to him.

In his picture it is evident that the field "initial position" is a "wiki style renderer" field. If I reproduce this in this constellation of him and trigger a Word export as you suggested, I get the following error message in the Word file.

There is an export to Word feature in Jira. Why recreate the wheel?
