Is it possible to export selected rows?

[jakon2048]

First of all, thanks for the great plugin!

I'm wondering if it's possible to export selected rows in the admin interface, rather than the entire model. For example, I can perform a search model/?q=test and click Export, then only the searched fields would be exported. However, if I select say, 3 rows, by checking them, the plugin doesn't export just those 3 rows, but rather the entire model.

Does the plugin support what I'm looking for?

Once again, thanks!

No, it does not. It would be a nice addition and not too hard to implement export as an admin action. Probably one format per action would bebetter to avoid reposting selection.

In fact, it is already described as a feature in the documentation. I suggest the issue should be closed.

@miceno is right, documented here: https://django-import-export.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting_started.html#admin-integration

Closing.
