Another great features is a great help for Workflow migration. Let me explain. If you change the Workflow Scheme, out-of-the-box wizard list all issue type, also issue type not used or involved in migration.

The following youtube video describe the result:

Well, using addon we can reduce the list of issue type to only involved in migration. So we can be focused in real work. This is a great result.

Enlarge Your Excel Export feature

Just create a export for more than 10,000 issues as shown in following GIF:

As we see, a new entry is present in Export menù. After select own issues, well we can select this new entry and extract own Excel. Html format can be managed both with browser and Excel.

(*)JIRA can be configured to increase the limit or bypass it altogether.

Here is a brief explanation of each configuration property:

• jira.search.views.default.max - This is the maximum value of issues exported by default when exporting/requesting a search result.

• jira.search.views.max.limit - This defines the maximum limit for all users, regardless of modifications on the referred URL. (or with the plugin Enlarge Excel Export)

• jira.search.views.max.unlimited.group - This property sets up a group that will be able to request an unlimited number of issues on a search result. 

You can use these configuration properties to override the default behavior. This is done by editing a file in your JIRA Home Directory, "jira-config.properties".

1. First, if the jira-config.properties file does not exist in your JIRA Home Directory then create it.

2. Add the override properties to the config file. Example: 

   Code Block
   jira.search.views.default.max=2000 jira.search.views.max.limit=10000 jira.search.views.max.unlimited.group=jira-administrators

   1. Restart JIRA.
      The example configuration increases the default result limit to 1500 issues. Users can modify URLs to export up to 2000 records. Members of the jira{{-administrators}} group can modify URLs to export an unlimited number of records

Result

A great Addon
