Description
Problem
When exporting I need to suppress columns that contain data with (control?) characters that cause issues when viewing in excel. I would like to select which columns are actually exported
Desired Solution
Explorer already allows you to customize the view by 'hiding' / showing columns. If a checkbox was added to the export modal that allowed you to export the columns in the view versus all of the columns (default) that would do the trick. Any reasonable alternative that provides the same end result would be great.
Alternatives and Workarounds
Today I export the data eliminate the columns I don't want and then sort such that the bogus rows with the rogue data can be filtered out. Tedious, but it works. However this works because the first column has 'well behaved' data to make this trick work.

Research direction
Start by locating the export modal and the Explorer view's existing column hide/show behavior. Add a choice between exporting the current view and all columns, keeping all columns as the default, then verify that the generated export contains exactly the selected columns and excludes hidden ones when current view is chosen.
