how to output field data from paraview (should be easy)

I want to output my field data, the data that has one value per time step, like how many nucleations occurred or degrees of freedom. I don’t need them in the same file as other types of data, I just need this to be outputted in any way. I cannot get them to be saved to any type of simple file like .csv or .txt(anything Matlab would read). I have tried everything under the ctrl+s. The file it creates is always empty. I have no issues with outputting all my other data. The data I want outputted can be visualized in PlotGlobalVaraibles.

I am doing something wrong as I have Paraview on Linux and Windows, and neither would output anything.

When you save as a CSV file, did you see the Field Association option?

Can you change that to “Field Data”?

Sorry, I should have specified that; yes, I can see the field data selection when changing the .csv parameters. When I make that selection, the file is always empty. The field data is there when I go through the lists to select the variables I want outputted however. Is there a 2nd type of data that can be read by the PlotGlobalVaribiables option?

Would it be possible to share an example dataset? Then I could recommend some action to take after seeing what works for me.
