@girishpanchal30 can you post an output example for this based on submissions on 3 forms? One of the problem of the CSV export to be used in Excel or similar is that, based on the number of forms, the export will contain lots of columns. If the user use one or two forms, the output should be decent. |

@Soare-Robert-Daniel, I have attached the exported CSV. Currently, the standard columns are fixed, and the remaining columns are generated dynamically based on the fields added to the form. otter_form_submissions__2026-07-21.csv
