Exporting CSV (or markdown) exports jsonb as `[object Object]`

Bug report

Describe the bug

Exporting rows from a table with jsonb columns, exports those as a JavaScript [object Object]

To Reproduce

1. Go to https://app.supabase.com/project/<your project id>/sql (The “Sql query” tab in your project dashboard).
2. Click on “New Query” and enter select * from auth.users;
3. Run the query
4. Notice how the raw_app_metadata shows up as a nice json string in the table (expected behavior)
5. Click on the “Results” dropdown and click “Download CSV”.
6. Inspect the csv and notice how raw_app_metadata shows [Object object] instead of the actual metadata (not expected)

Expected behavior

The exported csv would show the same json string that the ui does

System information

• Browser: Firefox

[ For those who want CSV immediately ]

The following method solved the problem.

Example:

• Table Name -> all_patterns
• Column Name -> shipping_fee_patterns

select REGEXP_REPLACE(REGEXP_REPLACE(jsonb_pretty(shipping_fee_patterns), '\r|\n|\r\n| ', '','g'), '"', '""', 'g') as shipping_fee_patterns from all_patterns;

Please let me know if there is a smarter way to write this.

I would wait for a fundamental solution. But if you want CSV immediately, try this method.

In my case, I had the same problem with the JSON type. Sorry if this is not helpful since it is not jsonb.
