I don’t believe you had to include a file extension in the filename for 7.9 when using this function. The save prompt would open with file extension type .csv and you’d type a name and it would add the .csv extension to the filename when saving whether you typed it in or not. In 8.0 it doesn’t do that, you have to add a .csv at the end of the filename or it will save the file without extension. Another thing I’m seeing is that the save prompt doesn’t pre-populate with a suggested filename when you add one to the function. It just opens up blank. ---

Hi Christopher Verified that the system.dataset.exportCSV doesn’t behave the same from 7.9 to 8.0 and will write a ticket for it. ---

Should be clear too, the exportExcel doesn’t work the same either ---

Hi, this still hasn’t been fixed, do we have an ETA please? The filename doesn’t prepopulate in the save form. ---
