Description

« Hide

Today there is only one available template for the Export of issues to MS Word. Unfortunately it's not easy to modify this formating as it's hard coded into a JSP. Therefore it would be great if this template would be configrable by the user or at least some addtional templates provided, especially Story cards would be fine to print them on Index cards with just the Issue Name, the release, the estimated time and the description.

Thomas,

This will be possible in JIRA 3.7 (see ~~JRA-10404~~), where you will be able to provide your own templates for viewing a single issue / multiple issues.

Just to confirm - this will allow you to add your own templates by using the plugin system. It doesn't allow you to use a 'word template'. You will still need to modify 'velocity' files to format things the way you want them.

If you do want a very specific format - Rosie from our office suggested that you could export to Excel, and then do a Mail-Merge with Word (if you have very specific requirements).

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,

does this men I have to write a Java plugin or just provide a bew Velocity
Template? I can't program in Java so this would be difficult, but I already
modified some Velocity Files for confluence, so this should be possible. On
the other Side the idea with Excel is also a pretty good one.

Thanks

Thomas

Thomas,

For an alternative to the existing Word view you will be able to copy the existing velocity templates and modify them to your requirements. You can reuse the existing IssueWordView class, so no Java will be required.
