Description
I have a problem with CSV export. It is because the field "Description" is export. It usually contains a long text with many CR-LF characters. During export all this CR-LF are put to CSV file. All of them create new lines in file. In consequence it is very irregular.
I think there are 3 possible solution:
1. Remove "Description" from export as unuseful
2. Remove or Replace CR-LF inside "Description" by any other character(s) while export
3. Use Custom query definnition to export only selected fields (like in PDF export) #4742
(I know there is a discussion about this export. Maybe the best way is to make possible to configure which kind of export is prefered by the user: all fields or selected fields).
