So this is a great module, and I have been using it a lot with my commerce registration site. But the biggest issue I have had is when our Registration Forms grow, change, etc. and I have to go into the view and add all the additional fields to both the report page and the CSV page.

Views maxes out after hitting a certain number of fields, which mean I need to make an entirely new report and csv view to handle other registration forms with different fields.

If you have any experience with the registration module, or really views and display suite, you can render an entity in the views display. The registration form has the ability to output the users entire registration in views, showing every field that was used in that form and what the user entered.

There are no fields though created when you render an entity or use display suite in views. So when you want to include the ability to export the data, the Data Export views pane shows nothing unless you individually add every field you want exported.

Is there any way for Views Data Export to parse the rendered entity in it's attached parent, and separate out the entities fields into column headings automatically? This would greatly improve the use of Views Data Export.

I was looking for the exact same thing. It would be really nice to be able to export complete entities this way.

Sigh...I solved this but never saw this issue until today, because I'm trying to figure it out for D8.
