We go to a table and click the export table built in action. This results in a success response and a downloaded csv file with no table data but rather html code. Here is a snippet of the code that is downloaded: ```javascript ``` ## Context Please provide any relevant information about your setup. - Package Version: 6.7.6 - Express Version: 4.17.1 - Sequelize Version: 6.5.0 - Database Dialect: PostgreSQL - Database Version: 12.4 ---

We encounter the same issue with our forest admin. Here is the setup : - Liana Version: 6.6.3 - Express Version: 4.16.4 - Sequelize Version: 6.6.3 - Database Dialect: PostgreSQL Edit : The issue is not browser dependant. Edit (bis): I found a workaround. The issue is happening only when I am in custom views. If I use the default table view with filters I can export the data I need as CSV ---

Hi @lrousseau, @DillonParfitt šŸ‘‹ welcome to our community. What do you mean by `custom views`? Have you got any errors logs on your backend or the frontend? Can you give me a screen of the network tab please šŸ™. ---

Hi @Arnaud_Moncel Please find attached the screenshot for the network tab I have blacked out some sensitive information if you need any of that please let me know. ![Screenshot 2021-03-05 at 13.15.54](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/1/1d8cf10abc28110e0e1064b882f905ac3cd7cdf0.png) ![Screenshot 2021-03-05 at 13.16.39](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/b/b2bcff0c2fc240a7c9253f124bce7a6132650fca.png) ![Screenshot 2021-03-05 at 13.16.44](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/b/b1233d675a547fe0726c01c632e655a98549fd39.png) ---

The url is pretty strange šŸ¤”. How do you call the export action? Can you give me a process to try to reproduce your issue? ---
