Export entire history of issues.

Question

I am currently working on developing an internal tool and need to be able to export the entire history of issues for any given JIRA.

Currently, I am only able to export one thousand issues at a time I'd like to able to get the entire set in CSV format if possible.

Is there a way to accomplish this easily, without having to append a pagination script at the end of each export link?

I'd take any/all suggestions even if it means exporting issues in XML, JSON, etc..

Thanks.

Unfortunately, this plugin doesn't support Jira Cloud.

You can export the full change history to Excel with the Better Excel Plugin:

Hi Walter,

There is also a feature request to get the entire history exported into Excel that you can find at JRASERVER-38896.  Please take a moment to vote on the issue to add impact.

In addition, there are some add-ons that you may be interested in:

Finally, you can also take a look at Bob Swift's CLI.  In the Communities post Solved: Export Issue History, Bob had this to say:

JIRA Command Line Interface (CLI) has the getIssueHistoryList action which produces a csv file. Here is a link to example output: getIssueHistoryList.

Similarly you can use getCommentList. The example output is: getCommentList.

Hopefully that provides you with some ideas to move forward.

Cheers,
