Exporting a Data Table Back to CSV

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Heya,
I’m trying to hook up some modifiable data up to Data Tables to be edited by CSV. It was super easy to hook up the CSV to be imported into unreal, but I’m wondering if there’s a good way to export that Data Table back into a CSV. I am trying to use the Data Table as a way to hook up a kind of asset database hooking up editable values to our blueprint types, and I’d like to be able to modify some data in the CSV, but hook up the blueprint types in the data table itself so we don’t have to worry about having to double check paths between assets all the time.

Without being able to export back to CSV, anytime I edit and reimport the CSV, it will overwrite any of my blueprint/asset references that I assigned in the Data Table.

I feel like I am just missing the option somewhere, because it feels like this should be super obvious.

I found it. I’m an idiot.

It’s:

  1. Right Click the asset
  2. Data Table Actions
  3. Export as CSV
