Dynamic Forms adds DateTime in Export to CSV

Hi!

I updated my Dynamic Forms Installation to Version 6 (from 4) because I had to update the DNN Version from 6.2.9 To 7.4.0 and it didnt work wit the Version I had.

Everything worked fine but one thing is very annoing, hope somebody can help me out of this problem.

Since I updated to Version 6 - when I export results to Excel (CSV-Text) - in the first column (column A of the Excel Sheet) there is a new field which is named "DateTime" in the title row. This column was not in the export before I upgraded the module.

This breaks the import of this file into another system which is feeded by the data collected in the forms from dynamic forms.

Sure - I could delete this row each time manually after exporting, but this is a daily task and so this is a manual step which may produce other (human) errors that I want to avoid.

Can anybody help how I get rid of this "new field" ?

thanks in advance - any help is highly appreciated

  • HI Donuop, I investigated this, used express profiler to perform a trace of the SQL code behind and wasn't able to get the DateTime column removed.

    I will have to ask Chad about this since I think the export results routine would have to be updated as well.

  • Thanks for your reply, one more thing the Export breaks is that the encoding seems to have changed from ANSI to utf8... So german umlauts are not showing up correctly in the exported file (Excel,csv format)...they appear as weird character sequences since the upgrade

  • Dynamic forums need refreshment and installation processes to improve its version quality and working speed. On the other hand essay soft review is helpful in the process of installation and version new elements. - Marshall 8/20/2020
