Filterung der Einträge wird beim Export nicht berücksichtigt

[johannes-bittner]

Ich nutze Leads (Contao 4.13.54, LEads 3.0.13), NC 2.3.0) zum Speichern von Formular-Input aus mehreren Formularen in einem Haupt-Formular. Durch die Filterfunktion kann ich die Liste der Leads zwar auf ein gewünschtes Formular einschränken, diese Filterung wird beim Export (individueller Export für Excel) jedoch nicht berücksichtigt, sondern es werden alle Einträge der Liste (auch die, die durch die Filterung nicht angezeigt werden) exportiert.

What filtering are you referring to? Can you share a screenshot of your settings?

[johannes-bittner]

Sure - this is the view of my master's form leads:

This form ist configured to be a master form:

That's where I store the leads from this and four other forms (in the other forms config, this form ist set to be the master).
With the filtering options, the list below gets correctly populated according to the selected filter so that only the leads from the selected form are shown in the list - but all of them (even the ones that are not in the list - will be exported when I launch the export.

My goal was to have only one export definition (as I have approx. 90 fields to export and to adapt to an existing excel sheet). The only workaround I can think of would be to use the "Export Limitation" field in the export definition - but then again, I'd end up with five export definitions (at least I'd be able to copy them). But I think it's a bit misleading to have a non working filter in the list view.

I meant a screenshot of your export configuration.

[johannes-bittner]

oh, sure - first part:

[... lots of fields ...]

[fritzmg]

It looks like you did not define any export conditions in your export configuration. This is why everything is exported.

The filtering of the back end view has no effect on the export.

"The filtering of the back end view has no effect on the export." <= I know. That's why I wrote: "But I think it's a bit misleading to have a non working filter in the list view." But thanks for the confirmation.

[johannes-bittner]

I think the user would expect that the filter option visible above the list view affects the export of the visible data.

But I think it's a bit misleading to have a non working filter in the list view.

Not sure how that would be misleading within Contao, as this is a back end filter view just as everywhere else. And the filter is working.

What is often misleading though is that users do not realise that a filter is actually in effect for the current view - but that's a Contao issue, not a Leads issue. See contao/contao#6022

That being said, it could be an additional feature to have a setting that incorporates the current back end filter for the export as well (we have done that with some custom DCA exports in the past).

I think this feature generally makes sense, maybe by simply adding a checkbox to the export settings "apply backend filter"? @johannes-bittner are you able to create a pull request for the feature?

Sorry for the late reply and sorry, unfortunately this is beyond my competence :-(
