Export to CSV in Perspective Ignition 8.1.20

[Kelly_Suarez]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to create a button that exports a CSV file from a Data set in Pespective.

Thank you!

Check out system.dataset.toCSV.

Just beware that setting localized to true will destroy the datetime format and render it useless I posted about it somewhere, if I find it I'll add it in

[FEATURE] Change date format in (everywhere) <quarantine exports> to standard format

You could pass your dataset through system.dataset.formatDates first. It transforms dates into strings, so you'd handle localization there, and toCSV doesn't have to care.
