Configuring Custom Export Templates

Overview

R4J supports Word and Excel files that serve as templates for exporting requirements - see Word Template based Export and Excel Template Based Export. Templates are uploaded and managed by the Jira Administrator.

You need the "Export Template Configuration" user permission to manage export templates. See Managing User Permissions.

Manage Export Templates

Select Requirements > Export Template Configuration from the navigation bar. Existing templates are listed and can be edited or deleted.

To upload a new template, select the Add new template button and provide the file. After upload, the template will be available for the export operation.

The upload file size limit for export templates is based on the attachment size in Jira. To configure this, go to Jira settings > System > Advanced > Attachments.
