Re: Wrong functionality of Excel export in mantis
As far as I can tell, this issue is still there in MantisBT version 2.23.0. It looks like the format is always specified as xml in excel_xml_export.php. Is there a fix programmed for this?

Reading the back and forth, it does not look like a fix is coming anytime soon. Or is it?

phpexcel will do the job, nowadays it is called phpspreadsheet.
This would require a plugin.
I have created a query plugin which uses phpexcel as output engine, thishowever does require some programming skills.
