How to export linked items on an idea?

[Doug Huynh]

Hello,

I am looking for information on how to export a list of linked items on an idea to an excel file or html output. When viewing the delivery status and all the linked work items are displayed being able to export from this list would be beneficial for to export this list to share with other who don't have access to JIRA. Its much easier to do it from this view rather then having to set up a different view or filter. 

If this is not currently possible then can we add this as a request for future development?

Hi Doug, 

We generally recommend to provide users with the latest information and so avoid exporting content that can become out-of-date very quickly. 

When we designed Jira Product Discovery, we created the contributor role that doesn't require any license and for which, even if the contributor also not have a Jira license, we display the information around delivery status and progress, which we believe is the more important considering these users have no rights to read user generated content in Jira. 

This is what a contributor with no Jira Product Discovery license nor Jira license sees. 

Have you considered this option? If not, could you please elaborate on the use case where your non-Jira users would need the name of the Jira issues? 

Finally you can export linked issues via the regular Jira issue search, but it just gives you the key of the linked issue, so it's maybe not sufficient for you. 

Best Regards,

[Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira]

Hi @Doug Huynh

welcome to the community!

If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on: JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your work items (issues) that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your work item fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel, Google Sheets, Smartsheet, or Airtable. It also comes with a number of advanced features, including support for (configurable) work item hierarchies (e.g., based on issue links), as well as the ability to export your view to Excel or Google Sheets in just two clicks.

This is how it looks in action:

What I'm doing above is to show the various ideas of my JPD projects along with their delivery tickets, in a work item hierarchy based on the "is implemented by / implements" work item links that exist between them. This work item hierarchy can then be exported to Excel or Google Sheets. You have full control over which fields you want to include in this export; just add them as columns to your sheet.

I should also add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for work item grouping by any work item field(s), to sum-ups, conditional formatting, or bulk inline-editing via copy/paste.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,
