Issue with Exporting Content: Misalignment in Columns Due to Missing Link Text in Headers

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 12 June 2024, 11 months ago

Problem/Motivation

During content exports in Drupal, link fields do not consistently include link text in all parts of the export. Specifically, link text appears in regular content rows but is absent in the headers. This discrepancy leads to column misalignments in the exported data, complicating data management and analysis tasks.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a content type with a link field.
  2. Populate several content items with varying link texts.
  3. Export this content.
  4. Observe the exported file, noting the absence of link text in the header row while present in other rows.

Proposed resolution

A potential solution could involve ensuring that the link text is consistently included in both header and content rows during the export process. This would maintain column alignment across the exported document.

Remaining tasks

  • Investigate the export function to identify why link text is excluded from headers.
  • Implement and test the proposed solution to ensure it resolves the issue without introducing new problems.

User interface changes

None proposed at this time, as the issue relates strictly to backend export processes.

API changes

No API changes are anticipated as a part of the resolution for this issue.

Data model changes

No changes to the data model are expected; the focus should be on adjusting the export functionality.
