      Issue Summary

      • Attempting to load issues using the add-in takes an excessively long time and incorrectly states that all the issues have been loaded when an Excel spreadsheet is heavily utilized with a lot of lookup functions and calculations.
      • If there are more than 1000 results returned by the JQL query, the add-in incorrectly states that all issues have been loaded despite only loading 1000 issues.
      • Trying to export more than 1000 rows from Jira issue-navigator to MS Excel

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a heavily utilized Excel spreadsheet with a lot of lookup functions, calculations and links to other sheets/workbooks
      2. Load the Jira Cloud for Excel add-in and fetch issues from a JQL query that contains more than 1000 results

      Expected Results

      All the results from the JQL should be loaded into the sheet

      Actual Results

      • Only 1000 results from the JQL are loaded, however, this takes a significantly long time to load. The time taken to load gives the impression that the import function is not working.
      • Sometimes, the following error message is displayed ;
        Oops... Something went wrong. Try importing again

            This appears to be caused by a conflict between the add-in and the Excel auto-calculation.

            I suggest this be given a higher priority given use of the add-in is already a workaround for the fact that you can only export 1,000 records at a time from Jira (and if you do it in multiple tranches of 1,000 the columns don't align making it difficult to combine them).
