Implementing a custom field which will have different value in issue navigator and excel

[Tuncay Senturk _Snapbytes_]

Hi,

Just like "Original Estimate" field, I want to modify a custom field which will have different views for column view (issue navigator view) and the view in excel (after exporting).

Actually I need somthing like below in atlassian-plugin.xml

<resource type="velocity" name="excel" location="templates/customfield/myfield/xls-view.vm" />

or a control as below in any vm file

#if($excelExport)
// place only number here
#end

Any help appreciated

Thanks @Guilhem Dupuy 

I also found out that there was no solution for that, It has been so long though.

Actually, my problem was to have a different view in Excel and issue navigator. I found a workaround though,

- check whether it is excel request on the server side, and put that to excelExport boolean parameter value. servlet's query path includes something like 

jira.issueviews:searchrequest-excel

- in .vm file check excelExport parameter (as shown in the question)

Hi @Tuncay Senturk _Snapbytes_ ,

Unfortunately this is not possible in Jira,

However, you could parameter the values of your field like this. : 

"1 | value 1"

"2 | value 2"

So that in your excel export, you can easily remove the characters after "|" and get numbers as you would like. 

This is more an Excel trick than a Jira one but it could do the work I suppose, could it help in your case ?
