Further reading

CSVI also supports exporting of Joomla user custom fields with Joomla user export. The custom fields for an user will be available as a template field to export as other normal template fields. If you dont see the custom field in template fields list, make sure to update available fields.

As an example, say if there is a custom field User location added to Joomla Users. This field can be exported by adding to the export fields.
