@SchrodingersGat does django-data-wizard also replace the export options of django-import-export?

Not directly, but if possible, I'd like to make use of our DRF serializers to format data for export. This way we remove a lot of duplication and custom code required to overcome the shortcomings of django-import-export

@SchrodingersGat seems like a lot of work to replace all the supported formats - especially excel - but interested to see how you go at it.

It requires some investigation :)

@SchrodingersGat is this approach not working? Should I make a try?

I accidentally deleted the wrong branch :) Still active, just waiting until PUI is a bit further along
