Excel export with nested DataContainers

Hi,

we have a problem with excel export with nested DataContainers.

In our example there is a Customer that has many orders (composition). In CustomerEdit the orders are displayed as table and we have an excel export here.

excel-demo.zip (96.4 KB)

The user opens a customer and clicks on the export button in the order table. Then he selects “All rows” and get this
error: “RuntimeException: Cannot export all rows. Data loader must be an instance of CollectionLoader.”

This makes sense since the orders are a nested DataContainer. In this example all order are loaded, so the option “current page” would be ok, but I cannot hide “All rows”.

I could create a new collection data container or the orders and set the parentDataContext when editing an order. But this does not feel right.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks,
Joerg

Hi, Joerg!

This is a known issue and it has been resolved in 1.5.4 release. The new release is expected any day now.

Now, if the table doesn’t have the loader, the button will be hidden.
