Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

When i click the excel export link the exported file has .XLM version/type instead of .XLS which causes me difficulty in viewing my status report .Due to this functionality issue my Project manager cannot view the report.

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?

For the current state and explaination see https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=12484

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.
