Improve “Select All” behaviour for lazy loaded export
We’ve received reports from our users regarding confusion when exporting form submissions.
Currently, when users click the header “select all” checkbox, the label shows:
“All 25 posts are selected.”
Because only 25 submissions are initially loaded, the checkbox correctly selects only these items. However, users often interpret this label as indicating that all existing submissions (e.g., all 69) have been selected - even though the remaining items have not yet been loaded via lazy loading. This misunderstanding has led to incorrect or incomplete exports.
To reduce user confusion and better reflect what is selected, we would like to request an update to the informational label. Specifically, we propose showing both the number of loaded items and the total number of submissions.
Suggested format:
“25 of 69 posts are currently loaded and selected.”
This is a small UI update that would significantly improve the user experience and prevent misunderstandings around exporting submissions. We are aware of not selecting any checkboxes and clicking export causes all 69 (in this case) to be exported.
