    Download Records Bug

    Hi,

    There appears to be an issue with the way records are download as CSV/XML/etc.

    If you create a form, and then add some records, everything downloads fine. Now add an extra field to the form, and move it somewhere near the top of the form. Add some entries. No download the data, and you'll find that the old data is not lined up correctly. It's all out of line and data is in the wrong columns. I'd expect it to just have an empty column for the data that isn't in the older entries and the rest to be lined up in the correct columns, but that doesn't happen.

    I was wondering if this is something that could be looked at? I have a client who edits their forms a fair bit, and they've noticed this behaviour. As a short term measure, I think I'm going to have to code a short term custom download type that gets the current fields for the form and just lists those (iognoring any that have been removed).

    I think there's a similar issue with renamed fields as well.
