Current Limitation:
When reviewing a new Data Model Package in the Transporter, there is currently no functionality to export the full list of detected changes to Excel, Notepad, or any other external format. This limitation becomes particularly problematic when dealing with a large number of changes that need to be reviewed, validated, or shared across multiple team members.
The existing review interface does not allow exporting the complete change list. Additionally, manual copying from the browser is cumbersome and unreliable, the HTML interface often resets the view or causes inconsistencies when pasting into a target file (e.g., some rows are misaligned or shifted by one column).
Proposed Enhancement:
Introduce an “Export List” feature within the Data Model Package Review screen that allows users to export the entire list of changes with a single click. The exported file could be in Excel (.xlsx) or CSV format to ensure compatibility with standard export views.
Key Benefits:
1)Enables teams to easily share change logs for review, especially when multiple stakeholders are involved.
2) Eliminates time consuming manual copying and formatting, saving effort during large transport reviews. Particularly beneficial for large updates e.g., scenarios involving hundreds of changes (such as my case with 578 modifications).
3) Reduces human error introduced during manual extraction or inconsistent copy-paste actions.
Suggested Improvement Details:
-Add an “Export to Excel/CSV” button to the Data Model Package screen.
-Ensure the export includes all change details (object type, name, action, description, etc.) exactly as displayed in the UI.
-Optional enhancement: Include filtering options prior to export (e.g., by object type or action).
