How to export Jira issues in PDF without comments?

[Georgios Samaras]

I have a query like this:

    project = myProject AND issuetype = myIssueT AND status in (Draft, notSoDraft) AND myIssue-Type in (Alpha, Beta)

which I would export in a PDF by clicking on Export -> Full content. Now, I want to export an equivalent in elegance PDF without the comments.

Attempt:

Based on this JQL to return limited columns, I am appending this

   AND "fields": ["summary", "status", "assignee"]

to my query, but I get a syntax error, of course. It's my 1st time writing a query.

How can I achieve this (in any way possible, not necessarily with Advanced Searching)?

Note: I do not want all the issues that do not have a comment. I want all issues based on the criteria of my query above (regardless of having or not comment(s)), and I would like to export all these issues, while discarding (deselecting) all the comments whatsoever.

Dear @Georgios Samaras ,

I have no solution but a work-a-round for you. Follow this article and modify the word templates. Export as word and then convert to pdf.

So long

Hey Thomas,

  that would require me to contact the administrators, and to be honest, I don't know if it's worth it.

  However, I am going to accept this, as it might be helpful to someone else.

Cheers,

George

Hi @Georgios Samaras ,

If you don't want a workaround, you can also give the app Better PDF Exporter a try, which does that seamlessly. You can choose the granularity of information you want to see on your PDF outputs.

(Disclaimer: it's a paid app and I'm part of the team developing it)

Interesting functionality, thanks!
