We have developed an Experience Builder that is primarily for querying data but also allows editing records. It also offers the possibility of exporting records using a table widget (in CSV format).

My problem is that the client has requested a free text field with a lot of capacity and they are entering many carry returns in it for its correct display on the screen.

I find that when exporting the table there are two options:

  • Export all records. Exports the CSV with the name of the project and the fields separated by commas. The carry returns mess up the entire CSV when opened in Excel.
  • Export selection. Exports the CSV with the name of the table and the fields separated by semicolons. Transforms the carry returns into spaces so that the CSV opens correctly in Excel.

I would prefer that the export was always done with the second option, but I assume that if it has been done this way there must be some reason. However, selecting the records one by one can become tremendously tedious.

What I would ask is that the table widget have a button to select all records (just like it has a clear selection button).

Thank you.

I also have reasons to 'select all' in a table.

I have a select widget in my experience.  If my customers want to say select all properties that intersect water pipes, I would like my users to be able to open up the table widget and select all.  At the moment  they can't.  Instead they have to draw a selection polygon using the select too, to then feed into the selection widget again (select by data) to find the properties that intersect with the water pipes.  It is quite unintuitive.
