# Get mission data

Export to get a mission template client side, in case you want to retrieve the data, for example options, label, description, etc. A good example of usage is a custom menu that displays only a limited number of missions, showing their label and description using this export.\
If you want to start a mission manually after selecting it, you can use the [`startMission` export](/missions-creator/server/start-mission.md) to do so.

## Export: getMissionTemplate

```lua
exports["missions_creator"]:getMissionTemplate(templateId)
```
