Can you export info from a Jira form or issue into an external application(i.e. Word)?

josh kruik_lnhv0h

I am looking to export fields filled out in a Jira form into a Word doc. This is info that is filled out in both the Jira form and Word, and I would like to get rid of the double handling.

My best thought is to export it using a Jira API and using a Microsoft Word add in to inject the info.

Any suggestions in the right direction would be great!

Hi @josh kruik and welcome to the Community!

To go a step further: to get rid of the double handling, can't you get rid of Word? Not that I have anything against Word (if used for its proper intent - to write documents - it's a very convenient tool), but I really don't see its positioning as (part of) a workflow application ... Curious to hear more about Word ends up in your overall process and why you would need it in your overall workflow.

If I had to integrate data from Jira into Word, I think I would use Jira's built-in export to Excel features and use Microsoft's native Word merge features to pull fields from the exported Excel file into my document(s).

Hope this helps!

Hey @josh kruik, you can export Jira forms to PDF with the Better PDF Exporter! They can be exported along with other issue fields:

As PDF is a standard widely-used file format, Word and other external tools should not have problems with importing it for further processing.

(Discl. this is a paid and supported app developed by our team. Free for 10 users!)

Thanks for your help gents, but I am looking to only export specific fields from a jira issue - not just a plain export of everything. The data is entered into an assessment form.
I might try that excel option thanks Walter, or power automate, or similar to this one: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Create-Word-Document-based-on-Jira-Issue-using-the-Jira-API/qaq-p/2169932 Cheers.
