I know I can set the customFields property when initializing Flexmonster or at a later moment through the getReport and setReport methods. Unfortunately, when using setReport, the grid refreshes, which is unnecessary when just adding customFields for the excel export.
Is there any other way to set customFields after initializing the report?
I'm thinking a setCustomFields() method would be convenient or possibly adding customFields to the params object of the exportTo() method.

Hello, Richard,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Adding the ability to apply custom fields through the exportTo method sounds reasonable. Our team has added it to our backlog.
We would like to kindly ask you about how critical is the feature for your evaluation?
You are welcome to contact us in case of any additional questions appear.
Best Regards,

Hello,
We are glad to inform you that headers and footers are added for Excel export.
Headers and footers can be defined as a parameter of the exportTo method.
Now exports are consistent and can be applied through "headers" and "footers" export options properties.
The structure has to be similar to the following:
flexmonster.exportTo("excel", { header: "Custom header" });
For CSV and Excel, there is an option to apply mutly-rows headers adding the headers/footers the following way "Row1\nRow2\nRow3".
Please check out an example we have prepared for you.
This is provided in the 2.7.24 version of Flexmonster: https://www.flexmonster.com/release-notes/
You are welcome to update the component.
Here is our updating to the latest version guide for assistance: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/updating-to-the-latest-version/
Please contact us in case any questions arise.
Best regards,
Illia
