Hi,

I am using 7.8.0 . I have used discover search tables and data tables in kibana dashboards. When I download CSV from the dashboard for a search table, it doesn't contain values for some .keyword columns.  
When I download the same report from Discover -- open -- my search -- share -generate CSV , it has the values for those columns.

What could be the root cause ? Is this a bug in 7.8 ? I see some similar bugs fixed in 7.9 like percentage column missing for data table.

Please suggest.

Thanks in advance

Hi @xyz2, there is a fix landed in 7.9 that should have fixed bunch of misalignments between Discover and Dashboard CSV exports: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/68718](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/68718)

Would you be able to test out newer version and check if it fixed?

@tsullivan, Do you know if [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/68718](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/68718) should have fixed the described issue with columns?

Yes, prior to [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/68718](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/68718), the two CSV generation methods were not using a lot of shared code.

I believe this type of issue will be fixed in 7.9.
