Hi   
  
 After I finally updated all my scripts to FB6, the “Export Log”-action behave completely different then in the version before.   
  
 Situation:   
  
 I have a include script, let’s call it “sendMail”, which does actually nothing else then to export the log and send it to a few people. Till version 5 the exported log includes every action, till the “export”-action. So I can see the whole build process in the log and don’t have to “program” this feature in every new script, since I just call “sendMail” as an include script right at the end of the execution.   
  
 In FB6, I see now just the log of the “sendMail”, which is obviously not what I want.   
  
 Is there a way to get the old behavior back?   
  
 Since my scripts are nested, like

```
- Master-Script
--> Script 1
--> Includescript xy
--> SendMail
--> Script 2
--> Includescript o
--> SendMail
```
  
  
 I’d like to see either the log from “sendMail” to the top (entry point of execution) or even better just the log for “Script 1” including all it’s includescipts.   
  
 Best regards,   
  
 Andrew

Hi Andrew   
  
 Unfortunately this is a change we made after several years of many customers asking for it. This required some major architectural changes (and is why it took so long to implement) and as a result it is not currently possible to enable the old behavior. I will make a note about this for the next major version to investigate making it possible to choose between the old behavior and the current one.

Hi Vincent,

I was just wondering if such a feature is implemented in FB7, since I&nbsp;went into the same pitfall, I've created a "library" custom Action for sending reports, and when this action is called from master project the report is empty.
