Export entries

    When I export entries for a form, I always presented with the option to export the below "mystery" transaction related fields which did not apply to the form. Deselecting them is an extra, unnecessary manual step in our repetitive export process. Is there any way to hide or remove these entry fields? I do not have any PayPal add-on or any other pricing fields active in our forms.

    Mystery export fields:
    Transaction Id
    Payment Amount
    Payment Date
    Payment Status
    Post Id

  2. There is no built in way to hide these fields. I'll ask the development team about adding a filter possibly to modify that list so that it doesn't always contain unnecessary fields. Since the list of fields is populated dynamically when you select a form, I was not successful in trying to hide specific fields by name, since the field comes after the CSS is loaded.

    I was trying to do this:

    [css]
    body.forms_page_gf_export input[value='transaction_id'] {
     display:none;
    }

    But that was not working for me. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll tag this as a feature request for now.

  3. This is a problem for me too. Wouldn't it be better if those fields did not even exist in the data if the form is not using them?

  4. It's something we will discuss going forward. Thank you for your suggestions.
