Export 'Review' columns to Excel

Business Need:

After creating a review in DNG and adding artifacts to that review, the user is able to see what reviews are linked to the artifacts by adding 'Review' column to the artifact view. However, when they export this view to a spreadsheet (e.g. csv/xls/xlsx), they do not see anything at 'Review' column in spreadsheet.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create some artifacts

2. Create a review

3. Add artifacts created at step 1 to the review

4. Start review, or save review

5. Go back to artifacts view

6. Add 'review' column, and you see which reviews are linked to the artifacts

7. Select artifact created at step 1

8. From context menu, select 'export artifact'

9. Select any format, and click OK

10. See a file exported, and you would see 'review' column as blank.


Although this behavior is expected based on documentation:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/elm/7.0.2?topic=files-exporting-artifacts-csv-spreadsheet

The following columns cannot be included when you export data:

  • Collections

  • Comments

  • Reviews

  • Team Ownership

  • Used in Modules

I was expecting to have an enhancement on that area due to a business need for my company and have "Reviews" information in the exported spreadsheet.
