CSV Export

Click Export to CSV (top left) to download all currently filtered elements as a CSV file. The export includes:

Compatibility Note

This module requires league/csv <9.27 due to a deprecation in GridFieldExportButton in SilverStripe Framework. Add the following to your project's composer.json if the export produces errors:

"conflict": {
    "league/csv": ">=9.27"
}
