Actual Results: | Expected Results: |
---|---|
Enable the modules
Follow the steps below to re-enable the missing modules:
1. As a Jira Admin, go to -> 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.
Modules are missing
In case you went through the above steps, but you failed to find the modules on step 4, please continue with following steps to re-add the modules:
1. Stop Jira.
2. Create a backup of the following file:
<jira-install>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/system-issueviews-plugin.xml
3. Edit the original file and make sure you have the following modules present and not commented out:
<search-request-view key="searchrequest-csv-all-fields" i18n-name-key="admin.issue.views.searchrequest.plugin.csv.all" name="Excel" class="com.atlassian.jira.issue.views.csv.SearchRequestCsvViewAllFields" state='enabled' fileExtension="csv" contentType="text/csv" excludeFromLimitFilter="false">
<order>90</order>
<condition class="com.atlassian.jira.issue.views.conditions.IsCsvExportEnabledCondition"/>
</search-request-view>
<search-request-view key="searchrequest-csv-current-fields" i18n-name-key="admin.issue.views.searchrequest.plugin.csv.current" name="Excel" class="com.atlassian.jira.issue.views.csv.SearchRequestCsvViewCurrentFields" state='enabled' fileExtension="csv" contentType="text/csv" excludeFromLimitFilter="false">
<order>100</order>
<condition class="com.atlassian.jira.issue.views.conditions.IsCsvExportEnabledCondition"/>
</search-request-view>
