Exporting "visible" columns includes columns that are not visible
Lindsay Hong
When I use the "Export Visible Columns" feature, I expect my export to include only columns that are visible in the view I'm on. Instead, it includes a bunch of internal data (e.g., milestone, task id, parent id, parent url, etc.) that I then must manually remove before sharing with clients.

Export View, "visible columns only" does not work as expected. When I use this feature, I expect only the columns displayed to be exported. Instead, all these other fields like Task ID and URL are included.
I have a list view that only includes Name, Due Date, and Status. When I export the view and select "visible columns only", in addition to the visible columns, I get Task ID, Parent ID, Parent Name, and Parent URL.
This is inconsistent behavior because when I use "task names only", the export works as expected and only includes the task name.

Hey lindsay, came across your comment while browsing the feedbacks. I developed clicktide.io, it helps you export all your data (selected spaces, folders, lists, etc.) to sql or excel with all your columns (custom fields, etc.).
Give it a try and let me know if it's something you'd use!
