Fill inn fields in a excel document

[roger_alling]

Hello.

First off, we are running the Server version of Jira.

We are looking to automate ordering off certain hardware trough Jira, however as we ourselves need to order this from a external party who requires us to send inn orders by filling out a Excel sheet I would like to automate the creation of this. So Basicly, what I need is to take a template of a Excel file, then have Jira update certain fields in it based on what is filled out by the user in the order during a predetermined part of the workflow. Is something like this even possible? And if so, how would I set it up?

i'd look at xporter plugin

it can generate excel/word/pdf document from your template and has postfunctions to attach/send by email your generated file

Hi Roger and Ilya,

Ilya, thank you for suggesting Xporter.

Roger,

Xporter does not integrate with Automation for jira yet. The good news are: Xporter is working on the integration with Automation for Jira, this will be available on next minor version 6.4(version in progress).

Thank you.

Cheers,

Rui Rodrigues.
