It would be very helpful to be able to export data as .csv files from the table widget in custom pages since you can do it from tables everywhere else.

It would be super helpful to be able to include extra fields in the downloadable CSV. Currently you can only include the fields that are viewable in the preview. It would be great to include more info but not clutter the interface table.

Your users can now export their data as a CSV file! The exported data respects the users’s read permissions, and only includes fields and data displayed on the list view. It also takes into account any filtering, sorting or search results.

To enable the export, go to your app’s settings and toggle on “Allow users to download data”. Your app’s users will then see a new button on the list view that allows them to export their data to a CSV file.

Sze Wing Choi: Sze Wing Choi: Any insight into the ordering the CSV file is making for columns? Would like to be able to force it to be the order of the view but it's not.

Matthew Guice: thanks for the feedback - we'll take that on board and keep you posted.

This is a must and should be pushed to the top of the list.... 210 votes and three years of waiting....

It has been three full years. Stacker support, this seems unreasonable. Can we please have an update?

Matthew Guice

really need this as well!

How about a "COPY TABLE CONTENTS" button as a hack?. I've noticed, when the HTML is right, some tables can be easily copied and pasted into Excel / Google Sheets etc.
