Frequently, my users request a feature to export data from the App. My workaround is to generate a template column and replace A B C D… with specific columns then stitch rows into an array being sure to add line breaks and then copy the lot into clipboard. A bit long winded. Glide recently launched the excellent new feature that exports the contents of a Glide table. It would be great to be able to trigger this when using the App, for example via a custom action (either exports a CSV file or copies the lot into clipboard). ---

Did you find a solution for this? 🙂 ---

Unfortunately no. I was hoping this might become possible with the new integrations and custom actions. The closest would be to generate a pdf but this is not really the same as generating a CSV export file. I continue with the workaround of copying to clipboard then showing a message ‘tip: paste into Excel’.
