read-only grid Export to excel

There is one thing you can do, instead of using a!recordActionField() in your first column you can use richtextIcon() and make it clickable by adding a startProcessLink which will start the same process triggered by Update related action.

Like this:

Now, the exported excel will have an empty column, which really do not looks weird at all.

oh, It's work                                                            blob opera

Thank you so much for providing such a great idea. Let me try with this option and check with business.

I'm glad you liked it 

Could you please if you have any sample code. Somehow my code is not working as expected.

a!gridField(
    label: "Read-only Grid",
    labelPosition: "ABOVE",
    data: 'recordType!{99b0bb09-e2c0-4f75-a70b-26f247e2d095}AA Vehicle',
    columns: {
      a!gridColumn(
        value: a!richTextDisplayField(
          value: a!richTextIcon(
            icon: "pencil",
            caption: "UPDATE",
            link: a!startProcessLink(
              processModel: cons!PA_PM_UPDATE_VEHICLE,
              /* Process model which is used in related action */
              processParameters: { vehicle: fv!row }
            ),
            linkStyle: "STANDALONE"
          )
        ),
        width: "ICON"
      ),
      a!gridColumn(
        value: fv!row['recordType!{99b0bb09-e2c0-4f75-a70b-26f247e2d095}AA Vehicle.fields.{41ba4a5a-f36f-474a-b17d-c12f6869260f}make']
      )
    },
    validations: {}
  )

 What happens when you change to action style to link?

It will create a column with record action name no matter which action style we use.

In excel?

Yup!
