We have received repeated complaints from our clients that the view export to Excel/CSV file is not readable. Examples:
If I have a relation field in the list named "My Relation," it is exported to Excel as "My Relation (list relationship)" — "(list relationship)" is just noise. The same goes for other field types like formula, etc.
It automatically adds the task ID and puts the category name (when the list groups by category) in the same column, which makes it harder to remove.
It adds the link text in the Excel file. For example, I have a list relationship column. It shows entries of the form: "My Task Name: https://apps.clickup.com/t..." which makes it unreadable.
Numbers are exported with brackets. For example, if I have a field with the value 12345, it is shown in Excel as [12345].
Dates are exported as Unix timestamps instead of human-readable dates (in Excel export).
In short — a repeated request is for a "what you see is what you get" export option.
Thank you
