Quick Answer

Jira Cloud's native export stops at 1,000 issues per export and only includes columns visible in the issue navigator. To export more: split your filter into JQL batches, use the REST API, or install [Simple Bulk Issues Excel CSV Export](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/3818473739/simple-bulk-issues-excel-csv-export-for-jira?utm_source=ngpilot.com\&utm_medium=blog), which exports up to 5,000 issues per run in CSV, XLS, or XLSX — and tells you plainly when a result set was truncated.

If you have ever exported a project for reporting, an audit, or a migration, you have probably run into Jira Cloud's export limit without being warned first: the export finishes, the file looks complete, and the row count quietly stops at 1,000. This article explains where that limit comes from, then compares the three practical ways to export larger issue sets in 2026.
