Hello, as the title explains, I cannot specify the results column in the workflow editor for the generate CSV file.

I can not reproduce this. Can you try another browser or clearing the cache of this browser?

Inside the loop it is available. Outside the loop it isn’t.

I’m having the same issue. I’d be pretty happy to hear the support reply here.

Hi Werther,

I checked with support, and it turns out this isn’t available outside of a loop because there’s no “source” table until a Loop is added. Without that, any actions placed outside the loop can’t assign values to specific rows, since no data table is being referenced.
