Exporting jpeg in CMYK?

Question

All these years of using Photoshop and I don't ever recall having this problem before?
But when I go 'File / Export As / jpeg' it converts the image to RGB when exporting it.
I understand I can instead use 'Save As', but jpeg isn't listed unless I flatten the file first.
It just seems messy to have to flatten everything, then save it, and then undo the flattenning so that i dpn't accidentally overwrite the file.
Surely there is a better way?

Hi @user82573258 you can still use Save As to create a jpg. Go to Preferences/File Handling and check "Use Legacy Save As". The Export methods are for creating web-based images hence the conversion to RGB.
