Epic Name field is empty when exporting issues to Excel CSV format

Hi everyone,

This is indeed not a bug but an expected behavior. The reason is:

• Epic Name is specific to Epic issue type
• Epic Link is used by other issue types to link to an Epic issue type

So basically:

• An Epic has Epic Name but no Epic Link
• Other issue types can have an Epic Link but can never have an Epic Name - this is the reason why the Epic Name column is empty for non-Epic issue types

Please refer to JSWSERVER-15878 for more details and watch it for a more suitable solution.

Summary

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an Epic
2. Create several new issues under this new Epic
3. Export the issues to Excel CSV

Expected Results
