# WeForms csv export field labels

 * When adding fields to a form in WEForm, there is a “Field label” and a “Meta 
   key” for each field. When I export the data that is entered in a form to csv 
   using the tools, the csv’s “column” headers are the Field Labels rather than 
   the meta keys, which is what I would have expected. Is there a setting somewhere
   to cause the exported csv file to use the “Meta key” for each data element, so
   it can make for a more usable csv database? Seems like the default would have
   been meta key, but if there’s at least a spot that I can patch to get this right
   I’d love to know that. I am using a csv importer to add data that is submitted
   using WEForm into a POD for display on my site.
 * thanks!

 * Hello [@deviceguru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deviceguru/) – right 
   off hand I cannot think of another way to export this to show how you have described
   above. The only workaround I can think of at this time is changing the export
   headers once the file is retrieved, which I know adds a small manual step to 
   you process. I will however check in with our products/dev team to inquire further
   to see if there is anything else that can possible be done. If anything, we can
   of course submit this as a feature request for our product road map. I’ll be 
   back next week to see if I could anything else for you. Thank you – Steven
