Some background  
I have a table that contains events that people can register to attend, call this the Events table. I have another table where I put all the registrations, call this the Registrations table. In the Events table on each event (row) I have a relation column that references all the registrations associated with that particular event.

Csv file generation only allows me to dump a whole table.

What I want to do  
I want to generate a csv file of an all the registrations of a particular event. So I either want

- to dump a csv of everything in the relation column in the Events table
- be able to put a condition on the csv file generation that only causes some of the rows in the Registrations table to be written

Or  
Is there something else I can do?

You can use the relation as the source of your CSV Export.

From the [docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/automation/actions/generate-csv):

Well Darren I apologize for wasting your time. I think what happened is I needed to scroll the source list more to see the relation. I have it working now, appreciate the help as always.
