Hi @vishnu vardhan chenna 

I think Project Category is not a field on the issue. It is a metadata on the project. You can only export the fields on the issues.

As a workaround, you can create a calculated custom field to hold the value of the project category and then export that.

Hi @Sushant Verma 

How can we create calculated custom field. can you please explain.

[Sushant Verma]

@vishnu vardhan chenna 

1. Navigate to Issues > Custom Fields.
2. Locate the field named as Calculated Field (Stiltsoft).
3. Click [...] and select Associate to Screens.
4. Click Update.

If you don't have Calculated Field, you need to Installed JIRA Misc. Custom Fields.

Or there are also several add-ons in our Marketplace that you can use for performing maths functions on custom field values like:

• sumUp for Jira.
• Abacus - Calculate Jira.
• ScriptRunner for Jira and specifically their feature which allows you to Calculate custom field on issue update.

And After that You need can try with the formula like:

issue.getProjectObject().getProjectCategory()?.getName()

Hope this will help you.
