What is the query to export all data?

[Jamie Edmondson]

What would the query be to export all data from Jira? I know it can be limited to 1000 results, but I simply wanted to know what/if there is a JQL to export it all, or is it necessary to use the UI for that?

The short answer is that there isn't a "rule then all" JQL that would get you all work items beyond the 1000 limit. You would have to use the UI or the API in order to do it.

Thanks. I don't need to go beyond 1000 records, its just that when you perform that "Export all fields", how is it pulling every field? I'd like to know how to call all of those fields from an API. I don't see all of that covered in their API documentation.

To do it via the API you can use Search for issues using JQL enhanced search (GET)

Hi @Jamie Edmondson 

If you're interested in using the API, there's an article here that explains how. It uses a Python library to extract the data via Jira APIs.  If you look further into the library's documentation and the arguments it has, it discusses that you can retrieve all fields or current fields. I would suggest looking into the code to see how it's implemented if you're curious.

Hi @Jamie Edmondson 

if you want to  export entire Jira data I can suggest  by using Hierarchy for Jira Add-on refer the doc  https://www.adaptavist.com/blog/export-from-jira-to-excel will help you.. 

You will have to design your filter query to get the data that you want to export out
