I'm trying to export every field from JIRA to migrate it to another system, but having trouble finding a way to export comments.
Hello,
For everyone who gets on this thread, the steps below provide the correct instructions to properly export all the fields (together with the comments) from a specific set of issues on your Jira Cloud site in the CSV format:
Following the steps above, the exported CSV file will properly contain all your issue fields, including each comment made. Each comment will be mapped in a different "Comment" column in chronological order.
Thanks!

I'm sure there are others. Hope that helps.

Hi,
You need to go to a Filters or Advanced search for it to work. Doing it from Issues will not export the comments. It seems like a bug.

Comments don't export in Excel. There may be a plug-in that will do it. I was told long ago (2007-8) that it is because all the comments for an issue are stored in one entry in the database and the UI handles making them readable so exporting them to a csv/excel file would make the unreadable

I just said there MAY be a plugin. I'm not aware of one. You need to search the marketplace.
