Export to Excel: Not able to export the description

XMLWordPrintable

      I want to export a list of issues to Excel with the description included.

      So in the find issues, I modify the Issue navigation configuration to add the description and it works.

      But when I export to Excel by clicking on the Excel hyperlink, the outcome in Excel is the correct list of issues but without the description.

      ==> How can I add automatically the description in Excel then ?

            This appears to be fixed in JIRA 3.6, or probably before. Marking as fixed now.

            Thanks for answering Neal.

            In pre 3.2 the excel view is commonly used fields and con not be modified within JIRA itself, you have to make the modification listed above.
            As of 3.2 there are 2 excel views. One is the same as before, now know as the "Default View" and the other is the columns that are currently displayed in the Issue Navigator (Current View).

            Hope this explains the situation.

            Cheers,

            I've done this internally. Atlassian seems to be of the opinion that description is not an often asked for column!
            Not here
            Here's how to customize Excel "All fields" view:
            atlassian-jira/secure/views/navigator/navigator-excel.jsp
            Add description at line 86 (after summary):
            <%-- added description --%>
            <td bgcolor=dddddd><b><webwork:text name="/field('description')/nameKey" /></b></td>
            and line 126 (after summary):
            <%-- added description --%>
            <td>
            <webwork:property value="string('description')"/>
            </td>

            Note: my line numbers are based on version 3.2.1 (where you will also have the ability to export all displayed columns with the new "Current Fields" Excel output format.)
            Cheers, mate!
