      When exporting the issues of a search to Word you have a predefined format which in essence if not very compact. You are assuming I need all the "operational" info about the issue, but in reality I may be exporting it into Word to share the "whats new" list or PRD with other users. I would be happy to not have all the uninteresting stuff:
      Status: ,Project:,Component/s: ,Affects Version/s: ,Fix Version/s: ,Type: ,Priority: ,Reporter:,Assigned To: Resolution:,Votes: ,Remaining Estimate: Time Spent:,Original Estimate:

      Suggestion: when I click on the Word link, a popup with list of fields comes up. I can un-check all the fields I have no interest in and that is it. you only export the fields I selected. This is very much easy to customize, as opposed to the "natural" way of making me do things which is going to some "configuration" page and changing the settings there. I also think it is very easy to implement, and at least for me the value is that I don't need to manually fix the word document....

            Any update how we can change the default export template? Specifically if a custom form is developed?

            Hi everyone,

            Currently the JIRA development team does not have plans to extend the functionality of issue view exports. Please see my comment on a related issue, JRA-1535.

            I understand that our decision may be disappointing. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

            Regards,

            PDF View Plugin is an add-on to generate PDF exports from your issues, which is a powerful alternative unless the Word output format is a must-have requirement.

            It meets the needs mentioned in the previous comments as:

            • You can define the desired output in form of templates.
            • Templates can be customized to any details (showing/hiding fields, layout, colors, formatting, dynamic logic, attachments, reports, etc.)
            • There can be any number of templates created, addressing different needs and audiences. You can select between them at export time with a single click.
            • Templates can be edited via a conveient web based editor, you don't need access to the JIRA server's filesystem.

            Additionally:

Additionally: Templates integrate nicely with the most popular JIRA plugins (Tempo, Service Desk, Table Grid Editor, etc.) It can be flexibily automated using the PDF Automation Plugin , or programmed via a simple in-process API .

            Hi,
            at least the possibility to select exported fields would be already a great help!
            Thanks,

            I would like to personalize the Word export into a predefined layout specified for each project. Each project can have one or multiple templates defined for different document types.

            i considered redefining the .vm template but it appears this has a global impact. Word documents are created for different audiences at different times. Determining field export on the fly or creating a range of template options is more ideal.

            Hi,
            Is it possible to add an image (<img>) into single-word.vm template?

            At least I would like to be able to define more single-word.vm files. Customization of these .vm file seems not too complicated so I could write my own.
            This is urgent!
