Use the Better Excel Exporter app to export the portfolio items to Excel. It supports all Portfolio and all built-in custom fields.

Hi @Dhigha Sekaran,

I am facing the same issue for accessing the values for Parent Links to which the Epic points.

Did you happen to find out the solution for the same?

Thanks!
