Cause

A known issue with the Export functionality in Magento application part version 2.3.2.

Solution

There are two possible solutions for the issue:

Disable the Add Secret Key to URL option.
Run the the bin/magento queue:consumers:start exportProcessor command manually, and optionally configure it to be run by cron.

See details for both options in the following paragraphs.

Disable the the Add Secret Key to URL option

In the Magento Admin, navigate to Stores > Configuration > Advanced > Admin > Security.
Set the Add Secret Key to URLs option to No.
Click Save Config.
Clean cache under System > Tools > Cache Management or by running bin/magento cache:clean or in Magento Admin.

Run the export command manually and optionally add it as cron job

To get the export file, run the bin/magento queue:consumers:start exportProcessor command. After running this, the file should be displayed in the grid.

To add the process as a cron job optionally, you must add the CRON_CONSUMERS variable to the .magento.env.yaml file.

Add process as a cron job (optional)

Make sure your cron is setup and configured. See Set up cron jobs for details.
Run the following command to return a list of message queue consumers:
```
./bin/magento queue:consumers:list
```
Add the following to your .magento.env.yaml file in the Magento /app directory, and include the consumers you would like to add. For example, here is the consumer required for export processing:
```
stage:
  deploy:
    CRON_CONSUMERS_RUNNER:
      cron_run: true
      max_messages: 1000
      consumers:
        - exportProcessor
```
Then push this updated file and redeploy your environment. Also reference Add custom cron jobs to your project.

If you cannot find the .magento.env.yaml file for your environment, and you think it was deleted, you need to create a new .magento.env.yaml. It might be empty initially, you can add info there as required. Reference the following Magento DevDocs articles: Build and deploy, Environment variables

On Magento Commerce Pro projects, the auto-crons feature must be enabled on your Magento Commerce Cloud project before you can add custom cron jobs to Staging and Production environments using .magento.app.yaml. If this feature is not enabled, create a support ticket, to have the job added for you.
