Why this is a good first issue

The issue describes a mismatch between old export format and new import tool.

AI Summary

The issue reports a malformed CSV export from an older version that doesn't align with the new import tool's format. The maintainer indicates this is legacy functionality that may not need support. The task would involve either removing old export functionality or aligning it with new standards.

Issue Description

Information about bug

If I export Items (Probably applies to all other Doctypes. I just tested this on Items) with the CSV format, I get a malformed CSV with a lot of frontmatter. It actually looks like an Excel-ish sort of thing:

"Data Import Template"
"Table:","Item"
""
""
"Notes:"
"Please do not change the template headings."
"First data column must be blank."
"If you are uploading new records, leave the ""name"" (ID) column blank."
"If you are uploading new records, ""Naming Series"" becomes mandatory, if present."
"Only mandatory fields are necessary for new records. You can delete non-mandatory columns if you wish."
"For updating, you can update only selective columns."
"You can only upload upto 5000 records in one go. (may be less in some cases)"
""
