Hi I am trying to export data held in a multi-record set. A end users would prefer to do this through the Civi interface rather than on the back-end database

The multi-value import link is buried in the help tips pop up... hoping the export is exists and is just similarly buried

We using v4.6.2

Unfortunately, at this time (CiviCRM 4.7.13) it's not possible to export multi-record custom fields through the CiviCRM interface.

This question: How do you export a multi record set? suggests an alternate method that may work, but it would take someone experienced at writing custom CiviReports.

  • @petednz-fuzion It could also be its own separate answer! I'll do as you suggest - but I'll note that I tried to do as it said and it's not trivial, even a little bit. Jan 20, 2017 at 14:18

If you're running CiviCRM on a Drupal instance, I've managed to export a multi-value field with the Drupal Views and Views Export modules.
