Linear Issue Exporter

WHAT IT DOES

Linear Issue Exporter scans Linear pages for issues and cycles—list views, board views, backlog views—and exports the visible issue data to CSV format. It extracts issue titles, statuses, priorities, assignees, labels, due dates, estimation values, cycle names, project names, custom field values, sub-issue indicators, and completion status. The tool handles Linear's standard table structure, identifies dynamic content, and generates a clean, downloadable CSV file. You can choose to include headers, trim whitespace from cell content, and select your preferred delimiter (comma, semicolon, or any custom character).

WHERE IT RUNS

This tool runs as a userscript inside the BotGentz extension on any Linear domain (*.linear.app). All processing happens locally in your browser—no data is sent to external servers. It works on Linear's list views, board views, backlog views, and custom issue views.

HOW TO USE

Navigate to any Linear page that contains an issue list—a list view, board view, backlog view, or custom view. Open the panel and click "Refresh Table List" to detect all issue tables on the page. Select the table you want to export from the dropdown. Click "Export CSV" to download the file, or "Copy CSV" to copy the data directly to your clipboard. Use the settings to customize your export: toggle headers, trim whitespace, or change the delimiter. The tool will remember your preferences across sessions.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM

The tool uses a multi-selector approach to identify Linear issue tables. It targets Linear-specific table attributes like data-testid="issue-table" and issue-table classes, along with common Linear table classes and role="grid" tables. It also detects tables containing issue-related keywords in their text content (issue, status, priority, assignee, label, due date, estimate, cycle, project). Once a table is found, the tool extracts headers from thead or th elements and rows from tbody or tr elements. It sanitizes cell content by removing hidden characters and special formatting that often appear in Linear tables, ensuring clean CSV output. The CSV generation escapes special characters, wraps fields in quotes when needed, and adds a UTF-8 BOM for Excel compatibility.

THE PANEL

The panel can be dragged anywhere on screen, snapped to the edge, resized, collapsed, and closed with Escape. It remembers its position per site and stays out of your way until you need it.

PLEASE NOTE

This tool requires the free BotGentz extension to run. It exports the current visible issue list only; Linear loads issues dynamically as you scroll, so not all issues may be captured without scrolling. Linear's table structures may vary across versions and custom configurations. Sites change frequently; if the tool stops working on a particular page, it may need updating. All processing is local—no data is collected or transmitted.
