[GridExport CSV/XLSX]: Event pimcore.dataobject.postCsvItemExport is missing

[thomasschradermasnou]

ClassicAdmin: During export, the following event was triggered:

pimcore.dataobject.postCsvItemExport

This was very helpful for converting attribute values.

For example, converting timestamps to dates, or selecting the Select Label (OptionProvider with relation to another object) instead of the Select Value.

It seems this functionality is no longer available in StudioUI/StudioBackend. My question is, have I overlooked something? If not, will this be implemented?

Currently, this exact event is not implemented.

A suitable solution for this use case would be to implement a Grid Transformer. For example, you can create a TimestampTransformer, apply it in the grid, and export the grid data.

More information about Grid Transformers can be found here:
