Hi Max,

is it possible to download the content of a database table with the download action?

Is there an example ?

Regards, JoCo

Thank you Max for the quick answer.

The download is running correctly and the file is my local download directory.

But after the download action the form keeps busy. The busy icon keeps spinning. 

The action is not ended. How come?

Regards JoCo

Hi JoCo

This is expected. this is how the download works in browsers, if you want to change this then you need to add a link to the form page with the CSV action, that page should have a different "Page Group", this way the page can be called through a link:

form-url&chronopage=page-name

when you do this the file will download but the form will not be loading

You may also "Redirect" to that page at the submit of your current page, this will have the same effect

Sorry Max, I don't quite get it.

first I don't know how a form-url looks like.

second I have a form with a read data action and a csv action on the submit tab. Is that correct?

Where should I put the link?

Regards JoCo

Hello Max,

don't bother anymore, I've got it.

I placed the read data and the csv on the load tab and call the form with a menu-link.

Hi JoCo

Great, sorry for the late reply

So when you have the Read Data and CSV in a different form page, you call the form using the same form link you have now and add &chronopage=page-alias to that link
