    Description

      Summary

      When right-clicking an issue on the Backlog view (context menu) of an Agile Board and selecting "View in Excel", it leads to a "404" page error.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Go to an existing Scrum board, or create a new one and link to a filter with ongoing issues;
      2. Navigate to the "Backlog" view;
      3. Right click on an issue and choose "View in Excel";

      Expected Results

      Given the recent removal of the feature that allowed exporting issues to Excel (see JRA-61891), the context menu should instead present an option to export as CSV.

      Actual Results

      End up in a 404 page error.

      Workarounds

      Option #1 - View in Issue Navigator
      1. Choose "View in Issue Navigator";
      2. Use the exporting features available there, such as CSV;
      Option #2 - Re-enable Excel export
      1. Open the jira-config.properties file inside JIRA's Home Directory (or create it, if it doesn't exist);
      2. Add the below property to the file;
        jira.export.excel.enabled = true
        
      3. Save the file;
      4. Restart JIRA;
