Enable the modules
Follow the steps below to re-enable the missing modules:

-> Manage apps -> Manage apps.
2. Search for the system plugin called "Issues Views Plugin" as the example below:
3. Expand the plugin and click on the "x of x modules enabled", so it can be expanded as well.
4. Enable the following 2 modules:
Excel (CSV, All) (searchrequest-csv-all-fields)
Excel (CSV, Current) (searchrequest-csv-current-fields)
You should be able to see the links CSV (All Fields) and CSV (Current Fields) back to the Export drop-down menu now.
