**Issue:**

I have created a an index pattern with a datetime field. And have created a saved search, so I can quickly download a report.

Unfortunately, the datetime and scripted fields are not exported, when I click on generate csv.

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks for your help! 🙂

hi @Meg,

If my understanding is correct - the report is being generated from the `Source` column (only):

The Time column is pointing in the field `timestamp` (in my sample above) in the `Source` so the report still has it, it’s just not a first field in the CSV.

Best,
