Noticed that CSV Export All Data doesn't include all fields

[primal-void]

I'm putting netbox docker through it's paces to see if the IPAM portion is a viable alternative to Infoblox.

Testing out the export functionality under Org > Sites > Regions and realized the export is missing the 'parent' field which breaks nested region objects during import.

Is this is a bug or intentional?

Hey @primal-void , this is a common enough question that we have a FAQ entry for it in the main NetBox project: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#why-cant-i-pass-exported-data-directly-into-the-import-form

I appreciate you getting back to me.

I would respectfully add that if this question comes up a lot, maybe reconsider the placement of the import and export buttons. Netbox may be losing potential support contracts due to this one feature. People demo'ing in the shadows, assuming the export feature is broken or buggy, and just immediately writing Netbox off as open source junk and moving on.
