## Objective
Verify export keeps each submission bound to its submission-time form version and answers.

## Preconditions
- See [[PRE-DF-submitted-report-exists]]
- And there are multiple submissions across several form versions

## Steps
1. Export the report as a CP user after a later modification

## Expected Result
- Then each submission stays bound to the form version at submission
- And historical submissions do not change after a later modification
- And answer values reflect the values at submit, not the latest system state
- And system-based option answer values are not recalculated

## Source Traceability
- TSD: PK141
- Section: C9 - Export Snapshot
- Scenario: C9.1 - Export preserves snapshot version
- Acceptance Criteria: PRD C.34 Scenario 1-4, C.35 Scenario 1-4

## Evidence Required
- Exported rows bound to submission version.

## Notes / Gaps
- Testing Concern TC-12 (High): export metadata vs answer-snapshot behavior must be clearly distinguished in implementation and UAT. TC-07 (Medium): export scope in release verification pending PM.
