I have a view that contains some editable fields and data_export view attached using the same fields. Exporting csv or xls gives empty fields for any column that used an editable field.

the $sets variable comes back from render_grouping in views_plugin_style.inc without any data for the fields.

Perhaps this will help future users, since I assume rafaqz figured something out last year. Editablefields can't be exported, but that just means an extra step to make it work: go to the Data Export display of your view and edit each field for that display only so that it is in the default formatter instead of editable formatter (or use whatever formatter you want). Since you are only changing it for the Data Export display, you can still have editablefields on your view, but your export will have all the data. It just requires changing the formatter for every affected field, which is admittedly a pain, but the modules work as designed.
