Export field 'is blocked by'

[Pedro Miguéns]

Hello everyone,

We are starting to use a new JIRA (v8.0.2) in the company, and are having an Export related issue (button in the upper right corner).
For example, listing all bugs (issuetype) and exporting to CSV (all fields) does not show issue links "is blocked by".
How should we proceed to export all fields?

Hi @Pedro Miguéns ,

As nic said, Issue Links are not fields in Jira, and the built-in export feature does not export those.

One possible option you can give a try is our Better Excel Exporter app that exports all issue data and metadata you need, including Issue Links.

Check out an example here.

Maybe I'm not being clear...

At an extraction of a list of issues (Bugs) to a CSV, the items at section "Issue Links":
-> items "blocks", are exported (to column "Outward issue link (Blocks)");
-> items "is blocked by", are NOT exported;

This is expected behaviour?

For others formats it works.

For example, in XML they are exported within xml file:

<inwardlinks description="is blocked by">

<issuelink><issuekey id="20660">NEC-22</issuekey>

</issuelink><issuelink><issuekey id="20833">NEC-30</issuekey>

</issuelink><issuelink><issuekey id="20834">NEC-31</issuekey>

</issuelink><issuelink><issuekey id="20837">NEC-34</issuekey>

Version ->   Jira v8.0.2

Realy apreciate your help!

Jira does not have "blocked" field, so could you explain what your organisation has configured to do this?

Within a Bug -> at section "Issue Links" -> items "is blocked by".

These items are not Exported.
