Hi @Shanth18 ,

Great question!

If you are wanting to include the values from your referenced table you can use an initial value dereference expression to autofill these values from the referenced table. You will need to manually add these values from the referenced table initially, but for future records you can add an initial value to the new columns and these records will autofill from the parent table. Then on CSV export your values from the referenced table information will be on this CSV download table. 

EX:

Item - Parent Table

IDItemDescription
abc123ApplesRed Fruit
def456GrapesPurple Fruit

Inventory - Child Table

IDItem IDItem NameItem DescriptionAmount
czv564abc123ApplesRed Fruit10
tyu123abc123ApplesRed Fruit-5

Data Tab

ID - Key

Item ID - Ref - Item Table

Item Name - Text - Initial Value - [Item ID].[Item]

Item Description - Text - Initial Value - [Item ID].[Item Description]

More Info:

Check out this AppSheet Documentation here for more information: Dereference Expressions

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more information.
