Include all selected entities in export regardless of whether they have a linked parent

Currently when exporting and including data from a linked parent, any records that don’t have a linked parent are not included in the export.

Consider the following example: I have ten Items in a workarea, five that have a parent Product and five that do not have a parent Product:

If I select all and do an export and add related entity type Product, my exported file will NOT contain the five Items that don’t have linked Products:

As a user, I would much prefer that the exported file contain all ten Items I selected (as well as Product rows for the Items that have linked Products). Otherwise I have to have two separate workareas, two separate exports, and then go through the hassle of combining the two exports into a single Excel file.

    I agree this would come in handy. As an alternative there can maybe be a tickbox to drive if you want to export all base entities in case there is no related entity, or the other way around; exclude entities that have no related entity.
