Environment

Jira cloud

Cause

This happens if there are Jira Service Management projects available in Site. There are few rules that comes built-in with JSM projects which can't be exported.

Solution

To identify which rules are excluded from export, a search can be run in Automation rule for label "System rule". The difference between total rules and exported rules will match the number of rules available with label "System rule"
