Progress-Field in CSV Export - JIRA Cloud

Question

Hello Com.,

has anyone ever tried to export the 'Progress' field? Theoretically, a progress bar should be displayed/calculated in the export for an issue (EPIC, Story, Task) with sub-issues. The calculations in the columns are correct, but they are not transmitted during the export (whole numbers would be sufficient).

Has anyone gained experience with this or has a workaround for it? Thank your for your time!

Progress = empty are Sub-Tasks or Tasks without a Sub-Task.

@Michael Augustin You can export this using the Better Excel Exporter app.

It exports this to a proper percentage-format number cell without rounding! Give it a try.

@Michael Augustin I don't think you will able to export that field directly.

Jira only renders the progress as a visual component in the UI. CSV exports don't convert that visual component into a numeric percentage or value. The field is not a native numerical field in the issue schema - it’s kinda derived.

As a workaround you may introduce your own numeric Custom field, and then set up an automation which will copy the behaviour of the original "Progress" field, updating the custom field you craeted. Such a field could be easily exported to CSV.

Another alternative (especially if you are up to 10 users team) could be using 3rd part apps including the one proposed by @Aron Gombas _Midori_ or, for instance, the one my Team developed (Report Builder).
