I am trying to: Export Custom Post Type

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

I expected to see: CSV Export With Each Custom Post within that Custom Post Type with Custom Fields completed with information

Instead, I got: CSV Export with Each Custom Post with the Custom Fields Empty for each post.

Hi, the Toolset Export tool can be used to export Types structures, but not post content or custom field content. Types structures are post types, custom field specifications, custom taxonomies, and so forth. To export the actual content, like the custom posts and their custom field values, you can use the WordPress export tool.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/modules-exporting-and-importing/#content

We have more information about export / import available here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/export-import/

If you're using a 3rd-party plugin to create a CSV export, you may need to refer to that plugin's documentation to learn more about configuring the system to support custom fields.
