When I am pulling a Backlog export for all columns, can I change the column order?

sarah_a_weissman

I want to pull a Backlog export for ALL columns, and I would like to change the order. This feature is available for a certain subset of the columns, but not all columns.

Hi Sarah - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You might try creating a filter such as Project = ABC and Status = Backlog

Then chose Export this filter to another format under the Download icon.

Then select Export Excel CSV (all fields)

I hope that helps!

Thank you! We are already doing that, but are stuck on how to indicate the order of the columns in the exported file.

For example, we want Column A in the exported file to be "Description" and Column B to be "Status," which is not the order that is exported.

John Funk

Do you have them in that order in the filter?

sarah_a_weissman

I just used basic JQL with field names and the equal operator. Can you give me an example of how to change the order in the field?

John Funk

Sure - just create and run your JQL. Then make sure it is set to List view in the Change view menu:

Then simply click on the Column heading and drag it to the right or left to order it how you want. You should be good to go.

The download will have the Issue Id and Parent Id column also in it (usually the second and third columns in Excel). I haven't figured out how to not download those because they are not in my filter. But I just do a quick delete on those two columns.
