Local fix

• You can prevent this issue by checking the data in the "On
  click" event of the Data Export coach view and returning true or
   false based on the data present.
  
  if (me.getData() && me.getData().length() > 0) {
    console.log("data has content");
    return true;
  } else {
    console.log("data has NO content");
    return false;
  }
  

Problem summary

Problem conclusion

  Export coach view exports a list even when the list to export
  contains no entries.
