Export for All Contacts
October 03, 2012, 10:37:36 am
I noticed this post earlier today:
http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,16075.0.html

I tried on the demo site and noticed that it still isn't possible to include a single column that export email addresses (or any other field value) regardless of contact type. As he said, at this time you have to use three columns in order to get all email addresses.

An idea might be to add a 4th contact type "All"; even if it is only usable with exporting. Unfortunately,  when you try too add a new contact type, it still has to be based on one of the default contact types.

Cheers,
Jason

are you saying it is confusing when setting up the export mapping fields - or that if you select only a single field to export eg individual email primary, that if your Search results include Orgs that the email column will be empty for orgs?
i thought the behaviour was that you would get email for all contact records even though you chose the 'individual email' field
