Issue

  • If a workflow is enabled for my Form and I make an export of the Form entries, only Approved entries can be exported.
  • Those entries which have not gone through the Workflow yet, will not be included in the exported file.

Environment

  • Liferay 7.0+

Resolution

  • The behavior of exporting only "Approved" entries is intended and it is a standard behavior across Liferay in places such as Web Content and Documents and Media.
  • A Feature Request has already been raised to include Pending entries in the export.
  • The decision about whether this feature will be implemented is up to Liferay's Product Team.
  • The new feature can only be included in future Liferay versions.

Additional Information

  • Feature Request ticket: LPS-94215
  • It is advised to Vote for the issue and add yourself as a Watcher in the top right corner of the Jira ticket.
