Exporting values to excel from work log drop-down list

[Lusine Jagharian]

Hi,

I have created custom worklog attributes including a dynamic drop-down using /rest/tempo-rest/1.0/accounts/json/getDynamicDropdown/|1|2|3|4|5|.... When I export my Temop report/list to Excel it exports the INDEX of the drop-down values but not the values, which is not useful to me. Is this a bug? How can I export the values from the drop-down list to excel?

Thank you

Hi Lusine,

Tempo returns the index, but this does not need to ba a number. You can use the same values as the index indicates. So f.x. instead of using

...getDynamicDropdown/|1|2|3|4/Please Select|Red|Yellow|Green|Blue

you can use

...getDynamicDropdown/|Red|Yellow|Green|Blue/Please Select|Red|Yellow|Green|Blue

Kind regards,

Susanne

It worked! Thank you Susanne!

I'd say it's a bug in Tempo. Jira moved from storing the text of options to storing a pointer to option (a much better way to do it) quite a while ago, and I suspect that Tempo hasn't kept up with that

However that would surprise me. I'd have expected Tempo to fix that pretty quickly, certainly by now given how long ago it changed.

What version of Tempo and Jira are you on?

[Lusine Jagharian]

I am on JIRA v6.1.2 and Tempo Timesheets - 7.8.2 ... both of them are pretty new I think.

Mmm, yes, I'd raise this with Tempo. It should be able to handle the new select lists by now (I say "new", I'm looking at Jira 4.4 I think!)

Thank you for your help Nic, do you know how I can report a bug to Tempo? Or should I just send an email to Tempo support?

[Lusine Jagharian]

Never mind, I am all set. Was able to report the bug. Thanks for your support.
