<!-- Answer -->
The "download as pivoted excel/CSV" functionality in Superset is **hardcoded** for specific viz types—it's not automatically inherited by custom plugins. Your `'smsrc-custom-pivot'` doesn't show the option because the UI checks for specific viz_type strings.
To enable pivoted downloads for your custom plugin, you'll need to modify Superset's core code in **three places**:
**1. Frontend - Export Menu** ([useExploreAdditionalActionsMenu/index.jsx](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/explore/components/useExploreAdditionalActionsMenu/index.jsx#L72))
Add your viz_type to the `VIZ_TYPES_PIVOTABLE` array:
```javascript
const VIZ_TYPES_PIVOTABLE = [
VizType.PivotTable,
'smsrc-custom-pivot', // Add your custom viz_type
];
```
**2. Frontend - Dashboard Export** ([SliceHeaderControls/index.tsx](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/dashboard/components/SliceHeaderControls/index.tsx#L456-L462))
Update the pivot table check to include your viz_type:
```typescript
const isPivotTable = slice.viz_type === VizType.PivotTable ||
slice.viz_type === 'smsrc-custom-pivot';
```
**3. Backend - Post Processor** ([client_processing.py](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/charts/client_processing.py#L305-L308))
Register your viz_type in the `post_processors` dictionary:
```python
post_processors = {
"pivot_table_v2": pivot_table_v2,
"table": table,
"smsrc-custom-pivot": pivot_table_v2, # Reuse existing logic if your data structure matches
}
```
If your custom pivot uses the same data structure as the default pivot table, you can reuse the `pivot_table_v2` post-processor. Otherwise, you'll need to implement a custom transformation function.
Unfortunately, there's no plugin metadata or `Behavior` property to enable this declaratively—the export functionality is currently tied to hardcoded viz_type checks.

Add your viz_type to the `VIZ_TYPES_PIVOTABLE` array:
```javascript
const VIZ_TYPES_PIVOTABLE = [
VizType.PivotTable,
'smsrc-custom-pivot', // Add your custom viz_type
