[Feature]: Allow download format options #36

Closed wincowgerDEV closed 4 months ago

wincowgerDEV commented 7 months ago

Guidelines

Description

I want to allow people to choose the format that they download data in, e.g. if they want to download as RDS vs CSV. If a csv is preferred then we need to make it formatted in the most useful way which varies depending on the download type.

Problem

Currently downloads come in a variety of formats which is confusing for users.

Proposed Solution

add a select option which will allow for download in at least csv or rds format as those are currently the best supported universally in the tool and outside.

Alternatives Considered

Have people reformat their own data for their own needs.

bypassed this with the new csv format, allowing all data to be downloaded in csv, probably the intended use case for most users.
