Hi Alex,

We brought this up with the team back in November. Unfortunately, I don't believe we'll be addressing this in the Classic version of Method.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing.

Hi Alex,

Ive tried to replicate this Issue on my end with no luck. Exporting a Grid with Linked Dropdowns was only displaying the fields it should be displaying for me.

Are you able to send a screenshot of the Grid fields pre-export? The fields listed in Step 2 when editing the grid?

As much context as you can provide would be hugely helpful. Thanks Alex

Regards,

Ben

Export to Excel (from an action), some extra fields are "RecordID"

Hi,

While export a Grid to an Excel file by actions, it seems that the system will add another "RecordID" column if one column is in "drop-down" type. Why add these extra RecordID column, seems a big error in the program. Please help to remove those columns.

Here is an example:

Vendor is the column that I want, however, "VendorName_RecordID" is redundant, same as "Location" and "LastLocation_RecordID"
