Question

Exported Grid Download Shows Base Record Name Instead of Record Label

Hi Team,

I have a base record type and I configured multiple grids using that same record.

In the grid, I am using the export/download option to download the records. However, when the file gets downloaded, the exported file name/display name is showing the Base Record name instead of the configured Record Label.

My requirement is:

  • The exported file should display the Record Label or grid-specific name
  • It should not show the Base Record type name

Could anyone help me understand:

  1. Why the export is taking the Base Record name?
  2. Is there any way to customize the export file name or make it use the Record Label?
  3. Is this expected Appian behavior or is there any workaround available?

Thanks in advance!

If this is a critical requirement, the only way to do this is to create multiple records on the same data source.

This is expected behavior with no built-in workaround.
Create a duplicate record type on the same source and change the plural name (or whatever base name you want) - easiest and cleanest option instead of doing the custom export hard work(Avoid if the record is large, heavily synced, or frequently modified.)
