Maybe this is a stupid question. The

tap-jira

extractor is now working. But how can I extract only a sub-set of issues? Can I use a Jira-query as staring point? Using the

start_date

as filter, I get way too many issues from projects I don't care about (our Jira instance is used by 2000 people).

Really depends on the tap if you can do that kind of thing. I looked through the tap and eek the schemas make it hard to jump quickly. Looks like not right now, but it would be an easy tweak it looks like https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/tap-jira/blob/19ce3f7b7f8ac77641250ebf56acf8a2220de897/tap_jira/streams.py#L2306-L2308 You could add a config value of like

issues_jql

and add in your jql filters you want?

OK, this means I would have to go into the land of an extractor developer.

No problem, sorry it doesn't have that feature. Happy to help if you need anything else.

Thx for the info. I think I have to extract the Jira tickets with a simple Python program. The extractors, as far as I can see, do not have the flexibility I would need. And it is too time-consuming to learn the SDKs (singer) to do it properly.
