How to get issues data dump with the custom fields in jira server?

[Rinjini Poddar]

If we try using search issues and download csv.

But it allows only 40k records but we have 5 lakhs filtered issues.

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?

The default setting for export in Jira is 1,000 records.  One of your admins has changed this to 40k, which is a recipe for disaster because larger exports will chew up all the memory and crash the server.

You will need to think of another way to export.  Or take a good look at the reasons why you think you want to export - what are you planning to do with the export?

Can we achieve this through REST API?

Probably, but without knowing why you are trying to do this, we can't really help you.

Because of having the default setting of jira -> 1000 issues. We cannot export more than 1000 issues in csv.

Also changing the values in default is not going to happen for our instance.

And the export will be on the basis of issuetypes & selected custom fields (Not all Fields)

Will we able to do this through REST API?

Probably, but we can only say so if you can tell us what you are trying to do.  And there's almost certainly a better way to do it.

What are you going to do with this export?
