Table Visualizations: Download as CSV includes hidden columns

[loreburek]

hi!
I have a Query that pulls data for a data transfer, plus some internal fields that are used for other tasks. I have a Table Visualization set up that hides the internal fields, but the Download as CSV continues to download the full query results.

To replicate:

1. Create a new query with more fields than you want to download
   select a, b, c,d from t_table t limit 10
2. Save and Execute the Query.
3. In the resulting Table Visualization, click the kebab menu and select [Download as CSV].
4. Your CSV contains the complete queryset with 4 columns.
5. In the same table visualization, click [Edit Visualization], and uncheck the column you'd like to exclude. Save, of course.
6. Kebab --> [Download as CSV] --> all fields are still included.

At present, the exported file is exported completely, and there is no filtering function.

Does anyone know if there is an update to this?

I'm looking for this as well - would it be useful to submit this request as a feature request instead of Q&A discussion? I saw that some active development started up this year on redash, which is exciting.
