Description:
Currently, Advanced Roadmaps for Jira Cloud only supports manual exports of the timeline view to PNG or CSV. There is no programmatic way to generate a visual snapshot of a Plan.

User Requirement:
Customers need a way to automate the generation of visual Plan snapshots (PDF or PNG) on a regular schedule (e.g., weekly) for:

1. External Reporting: Sharing the visual timeline with customers as a deliverable.

1. Archiving: Maintaining an immutable week-by-week record of the project roadmap for audit and history purposes.

Proposed Solution:

• REST API Endpoint: An endpoint that allows users to request a visual export (PDF/PNG) of a specific Plan view by providing the Plan ID and View ID.

• Jira Automation Action: A native automation action that can be triggered (e.g., on a schedule) to generate the export and potentially attach it to an issue or send it via email/web request.

Current Workarounds:

• Manual PNG export (not scalable or automatable).

• CSV export (does not preserve the visual timeline layout).
