Export Issues

[lindsay.barrett]

Trying to exporting my backlog issues to excel without much success. I don't see any way to export and all the other help articles appear to be out of date.

Have a look at the board filter first, then go view it in the issue navigator.  At the top of that display, there are export options.

Issues in your backlog should not have a value for the Sprint field, so just search for Sprint is EMPTY, and then export your list view to Excel.

i wouldn't use EMPTY since it might be that an issue was in a sprint (now closed) previously but then moved back to the backlog in which case the sprint field will have the old sprint (unless it was manually removed).

so you need to be able to create a filter that equates to your backlog. I can't tell you exactly what that filter would be from where I sit but here is something that may help....

Let's say you are using Scrum and let's say your backlog is defined by status of "To Do" and let's say your board's filter is simply defined as project = ABC. Then I would create a filter like this....

project = ABC and status = To Do and Sprint not in openSprints()

that should give you the true backlog
