Export without conditions

Atlassian recommends limiting the scope of work item searches.

JQL optimization recommendations | Jira Cloud | Atlassian Support

 

Exporter Cloud enforces the use of queries with scope limits by using bounded JQLs.

What is an unbounded JQL?

A JQL query is unbounded when doesn't have any search restrictions. This means:

  • No Limit Restrictions: The query runs without imposing any cap on the number of work items to be returned.

  • Potential Performance Issues: In data‐heavy environments, an unrestricted query can retrieve an excessive number of records, increasing resource consumption and leading to slow response times or even execution failures.

  • Risk of Instability: By not capping the results, these queries can overwhelm the system, negatively impacting both the individual user’s experience and the overall performance in shared environments.

 

If I had a scheduled export with an unbounded JQL?

Please proceed to the "Scheduled export" tab and examine the "Issues from" column in the export that is currently failing:

  • Scheduled export with filter: A user with access to the filter can edit the JQL in the filter to limit the scope of the query.

  • Scheduled export with custom query: Custom queries in scheduled exports can not be edited, so the scheduled export must be deleted an created again with a new custom JQL that limit the scope of the query.
