Thanks a lot for this great tool !

We would like to use explicit column labels in Grist, to improve readability for users.

But this adds special characters such as spaces, accented letters or apostrophes, which makes it harder when we want to export data and use it for downstream analysis.

Would it be possible to choose to use column IDs instead of column headers when exporting data as CSV or xlsx files?

Hi @pajachiet!

Have you tried adding ?header=coldId to the download URL?

See #692

Hi,

thanks for this very fast answer !

This work indeed, without the typo (colId not coldId). Sorry I did not search for closed issues.

But :

  • I get "gristHelper_Display" as a header for Reference or Formula fields
  • a button to configure the download would be great, to discover the possibility and for less experienced users

@pajachiet do you mind closing this issue and opening a new one if you believe this is a bug ? It will be easier to track

Same for you second bullet point :)
