Is there a way I can hide a column from a csv download even if I want it to still show on the frontend? Conversely, can I download a column even if it's hidden from the frontend? I'm happy to add custom code if someone can point me in the right direction.

Hi,
Is there a way I can hide a column from a csv download even if I want it to still show on the frontend? Conversely, can I download a column even if it's hidden from the frontend? I'm happy to add custom code if someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Hi, Rochelle.
Apologies for the waiting time, we don't work during weekends.
And i am sorry to disappoint you, but The table tools functionalities are based on a 3rd party HTML5 library and they are not customizable.
Unfortunately, the library allows very little “fine-tuning” of the generated files, so font, size, and other properties cannot be changed.
And, we are not able to hide a column from the CSV export, as well.

So at this time, we don't have any built-in solution to achieve this with the current plugin's Export capabilities.
You can suggest to add this to our developers - they will do their best to make a solution in the future.
Please feel free to search on our suggestions page,

If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,
you can check out our available hooks for Developers on this documentation and see if you can find any hook that might help.
Please be advised that custom solutions with hooks are not included in our support.
You can also research resources such as Stack Overflow to see if any other user perhaps found a workaround.
( We do like to give examples for certain solutions, but for this use-case, we, unfortunately, don't have anything yet)
Kind Regards,
