SharePoint: Microsoft Lists - Export to CSV with schema

The "Export to CSV with schema" feature in Microsoft Lists brings forth several changes. Importing a CSV file generated from this option allows you to keep custom formatting, rich-text editing, choice pills, and people data, ensuring the source and destination lists are identical. Noteworthy changes to exports include:

• People column now exports the underlying email address instead of the name shown in the list
• DateTime now exports in the standardized Universal DateTime format. For example, '2023-04-03T00:00:00Z'. However, if the column data only has a date with no time, it exports as '03/04/2023'
• Boolean fields are exported as TRUE/FALSE as opposed to YES/NO

Deep Dive into the Export to CSV with schema Feature

The new export feature in Microsoft Lists ensures consistent data and formatting when moving between source and destination lists. Your people data will reflect the individual's email, providing a more universal identifier than name alone. The shift to exporting DateTime and Boolean fields in more standardized formats brings additional consistency and improved handling in different systems, making it simpler to work with the exported data.
