Exporting embedded card doesn't apply filter

Hi, I have an embedded Domo app. I have exportable cards enabled. However, when there is a filter set, and the card export shortcut button is clicked, the export shows all the data instead of the filtered data. Image attached to clarify which button I'm referring to.

The only way to export the filtered card correctly is to click the expand button and export from there. Is there a fix for this, or is this a known issue with embedded Domo apps? Seems pointless to have this export shortcut if the filters aren't compatible with it.

    @jrtomici Are you server-side filtering or applying p-filters from the web browser?

    You need to be applying programmatic filters from the server-side.

    @jrtomici i don't have this issue.

    Once the app is filtered then the export to Powerpoint or Excel shows only the filtered data for me.

    @Jones01 are you sure you're specifically using the export shortcut button on an embedded Domo app? I've tested multiple times and the exported card is not filtered. Maybe you could demonstrate with screenshots?

    Are you sure it's an embedded App and not just a normal embedded dashboard? This export button for embedded Apps was only recently added at our team's request.

    We use programmatic filtering for permissioning the data to certain user groups, but users should be able to apply their own filters for custom exporting. There's no reason why exporting a card would show all the data. @MattTheGuru

    @jrtomici yes its an embedded app (not dashboard) with programmatic filtering. I'd raise a ticket as sounds like a bug just on your instance.
