Add Formatting Options to Excel Export

Description:

When exporting a board to Excel, there should be an option to control whether formatting (colors, styles, etc.) is included in the exported file.

Current Behavior:

  • Excel exports automatically include all colors from status columns and other formatted fields

  • There is no way to export to Excel without this formatting

  • Users must either use CSV export (losing Excel format benefits) or manually remove formatting after export

Requested Enhancement: Add a checkbox or toggle in the Excel export dialog with options like:

  • ☐ Include colors and formatting

  • ☐ Export data only (no formatting)

Use Case: For financial analysis, accounting, and data processing workflows, clean unformatted data is often required. Having to manually remove formatting from large exports (2,800+ items in my case) is time-consuming and inefficient.

Benefits:

  • Saves time for users who need clean data exports

  • Provides flexibility for different export use cases

  • Maintains current functionality for users who want formatted exports
