I need to let members to download their filtered data from the content manager / database, as a CSV file.  
Currently using velo code its possible to query the data and get it as a JSON object.  
But I’m having the issue with convert JSON data object to CSV downloadable file.

I tried with this \>

That works, but there is no “template” for us to copy… It would be good to add it to the velo example. @talyaro Any chance?

Thanks @certified-code , Issue was that I tested this on a free site.  
I checked this on a premium site & worked great.  
Thanks anyway. 😊
