Support ?columns also for CSV and JSON exports

[gbin2265]

Proposal for export's CSV/PDF/JSON

If you now request a CSV export, it provides all the columns that exist.
Wouldn't it be possible to include an additional parameter where you specify which columns you want to see only in the CSV/PDF/EXPORT export?

Describe the solution you'd like

add parameter like printcolums=...

You can then use this parameter as a filter when printing the columns.

example

printcolumns=host.id,host.display_name,host.vars.os,host.address,host.name,host.vars.local_var

Result

id,display_name,address,name,vars.os,vars.local_var
"1370166c5ea3a961e81ecf3ace578e19dac2184e","host.com","1.1.1.1","obj_host","rhel9","city1"

Hi,

for PDF this is already possible by using ?columns= in the hosts and services list. This just needs to be supported for the CSV and JSON export.

Hi,

Added value was from printcolumns that you can give additional columns like the IDs in the export but not on the screen.

But tell you that the columns option is the fastest/easiest way, I will be very happy already.
