Add export function for title page full credits

Earlier, I used to be able to copy the whole list from "Full cast & crew" of any TV Show into an Excel sheet. They would perfectly copy in their own columns from where I could easily edit/remove data as needed. However, this has changed. How do I go back, or is there another solution? What does this mean, right? Let's take an example Dark Blue (2009-10) When I viewed the entire cast & crew list on 8th April 2025, I could copy the whole list, right-click on it, and use the option "Match Destination Formatting" or simply copy as text (paste special) I would have got Col A - Actor Name Col B- Actor Name Col C - ... Col D - Character Name with # of episodes and years in parenthesis However, now I get everything in one column Why? Isn't there an easier way for me to get the entire cast & crew in something like the "reference view" mode in IMDB? Actor Name in Col A, B ... in Col C,

@lizwren We have converted this into an Idea post so other customers can vote and comment upon it. The better solution for this is to support the export of this data via the same means as list exports. As was the case with /name/fullcredits and explained at https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/imdbcom/add-a-contributor-text-view-for-name-credits/66a02b1e79828c791e7a0f6e?commentId=66a02cd39ab2194ecb03b89c&replyId=66a0e5284a39ff190e7116fd you might find it easier to cut-and-paste from the contribution interface for the title instead. However, in your specific case of exporting the summarised cast from TV-shows, the contribution interface does not include the summarised cast data. It will work for movies though. Alternatively, it should work (for now) in /title/reference which you can opt-in to via https://www.imdb.com/preferences/general — a warning though: this page is over 15 years old and lacks many features of the regular title pages. You could always not op-in and manually edit the URL whenever you want to cut-and-paste the information. In your example, change the URL from https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1319636/ to https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1319636/reference Hope this helps.
