What happened?

I've tried to export event category with secondary dimension event name. But when I look in the export there is always event action, independent of which value I have as secondary dimension.

What should happen?

When I export the report event category with secondary dimension event name the exported document will contain event category and event name.

How can this be reproduced?

Go to the report events. Scroll down an click on event name at the bottom of the report. It will switch the secondary dimension to event name.

Export the report in which format you want. Look and se the secondary dimension will be event action instead of event name
