Hello,

 

I would like to know if it is possible to customize the "export" function in JIRA.

For example I would like to export some data from an issue and create a table from the issue with some of the data from the issue.

The goal is to have kind of word/PDF template where JIRA will export the data from an issue to that template.

Thank you,

Jon

Use the Better PDF Exporter app to export your issues to PDF. 

It does support the concept of PDF templates, it supports tables and it is extremely customizable. Just have a look at the export samples to see what it can do!

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

REST API...

You can plug any of these into your browser to see the resulting JSON

Get a Single Issue 

Execute JQL 

And when your ready, you can add those to Power BI or Excel through Power Query.

I run this kind of stuff for client reporting every day :-)

And the API layer is free from Atlassian

Hi @Jon Labat ,

 

You can use a JQL filter to select specific issues and fields, then export the results to Excel.

Make sure you use CSV (My Defaults) option in the export section of the issue navigator.

Post that , you can use Excel macros or templates to format the data into your desired table layout and then convert the file to desired format(Word or PDF).

 

Regards,

Harshit
