I have a question about the Generate CSV action. In this action, the Computed Column (e.g. Lookup column with a single value Lookup from Relation) is not output to CSV. Is there a way to include the Lookup column in the output CSV? ---

Hi, Computed columns are not included in the CSV. Not sure if it’s the case for all of the computed columns type though. ---

EDIT: Just tried again @ThinhDinh and you were right I have the computed values in the CSV, always thought it was not included 🫠 On my side yes it appears on the list but the data from computed columns are not exported in the CSV so I always assumed it was normal behavior? ---

Wow! I never realized there was a “Select Columns” option! Thanks to your guys’ advice, I was able to solve this problem perfectly. Thanks so much @ThinhDinh and @Lucas_Malguy1 for the advice! ---

Hi, ThinhDinh! How you have configured your lookups. I tried and no luck. ---

It’s a simple single relation + lookup. Nothing special there. Do you not see those columns in the “select columns” screen? ---

Ah, yes, bit confusing. Just i was thinking about Lookup as an array that’s why was curious to know it possible to use in csv source. As single value it is clear. Thanks! ---
