I want to be able to see a custom attribute on the exported library, however; that capability does not appear to be available. Does anyone know if it can be done and/or how to do it?

Thanks for following up on this one @RIVAA, @biercuterie, @TGPH, @briefly_beautif.
We currently don't have any new information to share. However, if there are any updates in the future, we’ll make sure to inform everyone here.
In the meantime, I recommend checking out the feature Laurie mentioned earlier in this thread. This feature allows you to bulk-edit your custom attributes, which may help you manage them more efficiently.
Thanks, @Katie_SQ, but the feature you mentioned is not a workaround. As soon as you manually type things around on a website with data, it will be wrong. And I just discovered that while there's an API to do this, it's missing features like relating vendors and unit costs. We add hundreds of unique items weekly to our system; bulk editing doesn't solve our issue. It's super frustrating.. I wish we knew this before we got started. It's having us look for another platform.
Following this thread. We too have a need to use the Custom Attribute fields to generate reports to 'tag' our inventory items. Viewing the filtered list on the dashboard just isn't feasible.
+1 ... seems to really limit the potential of custom attributes if they can't be exported/imported
Adding on to this. I've made a post myself on this exact topic. Has there been any movement on adding these columns to the Library Export?
We just don't understand the half-step approach of including this but not having any ability to use it fully. We are several years in on this thread and there are obviously a ton of businesses that would benefit from this function.
Into another year and still no news. This feature would be great to have as well as been able to filter by custom attribute, but for me personally been able to have a custom attribute on a report e.g Stock location would be a game changer. its a simple thing to add. why no movement?
