Hello everyone,Since version 8.0.23, there is the possibility of a CSV export. However, I haven't fully understood how this should work. I have created a selection in the Load tab, which I then pass to the Submit via a button.
In the Submit, I implemented a Read-Data function, which works correctly when output in a table. However, when I try to use the same for a CSV export, I get an empty CSV file. The data is being read correctly because if I invoke the file differently, no file is generated, and the process stops. What am I doing wrong?
After the selection, I use a read_data24
, which I set as the Data Source for the CSV. Unfortunately, I can’t provide any further details, or perhaps I’m missing something here. When I specify the column headers via Behaviors, they are displayed correctly in the CSV, but the data columns remain empty.
In the debug log, I once saw the following:
Files
Array
(
)
This makes me feel that something is going wrong with the CSV generation. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.
the data source is a variable so it should be {var:read_data24}
did you try that ?
can you post a screenshot of the CSV action settings ?
Hello Max,
The blue circle represents the starting point. With green, I populate a table, which works without any issues. With red, I want to populate the CSV, but unfortunately, none of the following expressions work:
- {var:read_data24}
- {data:read_data24}
- read_data24 (as with the table)
With "var" or "data," nothing happens at all. Only with (read_data24) is a CSV generated, but it is then either empty or filled with the column headers that I entered under CSV Columns.
Thank you!

I tested here on the content table and it works fine, please try to remove the "Output format" behavior in the CSV, does it change the result ?
