I need to automate a search of issues in JIRA 3.13 and export the results for VBA reporting. I haven’t found a way for external plugins to manage this.
I encountered a similar challenge while working on a legacy system running earlier JIRA versions. In my case, I used an approach that involved generating an RSS feed from the JIRA queries and then converting those feeds into a CSV format that VBA could process. Though it wasn’t a built-in solution and required some scripting and custom error handling, the method proved reliable once it was fine tuned. I had to invest time in validating the data, but the automation process was flexible and scalable for ongoing reporting needs.
hey, i tried using a direct db link. creating an odbc connection and quering the issues table gave me the csv you needed. bit of tuning but it worked for my export needs. might be worth a shot
