assignin function does not work from export function

Hello.

We're using the export function to run an *.mlx file and then export it to a pdf.

I don't seem to be able to interact with the OS filesystem or store data in the base workspace when the *.mlx is executed using the export function

export("Analyse_Template",filename,PageSize="A4",Run=true,FigureResolution=800,HideCode=true);

% using assignin does not work
assignin('base','OutPutTable',OutPutTable)
% using writetable does not work
writetable(inputTable, FName,"WriteMode","append");

Executing the *.mlx file itself produces the desired results.

Why can I not work outside of the scope of the export function?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Tobias Panitz

I encountered a similar issue when using the live script, but when I ran the code in a “.m” file instead of “. mlx” file, it executed just fine.
