Exports issue data in Microsoft Excel format (.xlsx). Exports in Excel format preserve data types for values in custom fields and other issue attributes.

These options are available from the Export issue data button in the toolbar on the Issues list.

To export issue data:

  3. Mark the boxes for all issues you want to export on the Issue List.

The maximum number of issues that you can export is determined by the Max Issues to Export setting on the Global Settings page. The default value is 500. If the number of issues that you want to export exceeds the global limit, ask an administrator to increase this value. For more information, see System.
