No longer export multiple tables?

I used to use the Export functionality available within the Tables section to export data from multiple tables at once:

However, I tried it today and noticed I can select only one table at a time now. Are others experiencing this same limitation? Or, do you have a different way of exporting data from multiple tables in a few clicks?

Thanks in advance,

Bryan

Here's the response from Support:

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for your email.Yes, I confirmed with our Devs that this is a new change. Multiple table export is being deprecated for backend service protection, as it normally takes much longer and causes UI to fail.And our devs will be we'll updating the official MS documentation shortly.

@EricRegnier what do you like to use to export a CSV copy of multiple tables? I'm not trying to flow data between environments; I'd like a CSV copy.

TIA

@BCLS776 so also got confirmation that this feature was disabled as designed due to some performance/reliability problems. No ETA yet if and when it will be back.

If I need to export multiple tables, either I do it separately from model-driven app or Maker portal and/or in a custom process (eg flow) I fetch the data I need from multiple tables (joins) and populate it in a spreadsheet.

You can also use the CMT tool (configuration migration tool) to export data and relationships from multiple tables into a file but the format is xml and usually used to import that data back into a target environment.
