#13081 new enhancement

Export only selected columns

Reported by: ercasta@… Owned by: Jun Omae
Priority: normal Component: ExcelDownloadPlugin
Severity: normal Keywords:
Cc: Trac Release: 1.0

Description

The Excel export contains all fields, not only those selected by the custom query. It would be nice to export only the field subset shown by the query

This behavior is by design. I don't have will to change it.

What a pity. Trac's custom query feature is great, and default csv / tsv export respects column selection. You don't want the current behaviour to change, or is it only a matter of time / will? Is there any way I could contribute implementing this behaviour?

  • I want to provide excel file which is able to be imported via TicketImportPlugin, etc.
    • Therefore, all columns are needed.
  • If custom fields are many too much, it's pretty painful to check all columns in query page.
    • I know a Trac Environment which 100+ custom fields actually are defined by a user.
  • I believe it's easy to remove unnecessary columns from downloaded excel file rather than the checking.

Is there any way I could contribute implementing this behaviour?

It is possible to accept patch if the patch is to keep current behavior and/or configure the behavior.
