Descendancy usefull print
I love familysearch.org and the way you facilitate things. There's one that I miss: a descendancy useful print.
I would like to share with my relatives the findings made about the family of one of its members, in a simple list (text format) and with basic information about each member (for example: names, birth and death, or other fields to choose from).
Since you have the information in a database, it shouldn't be too difficult to develop a script to produce this listing.
Can you think about this?

From the person page, in the Tools box you'll find Print Options. One of the options is Family Group Record (with or without sources). That seems to contain the information you are asking for.

The descendancy chart view doesn't have a print option, but that's because it really doesn't need one: your browser's print functions should print it out nicely. This will have names, dates, and relationships, but not the places.
If neither that nor Alan's recommendation of the Family Group Record are quite what you had in mind, you can check the Solutions Gallery for a third-party solution to your question. The "Charts" category lists 27 items (although granted, there are quite a few repeats).

Thank you both!
I would like to have a "single list" like this. Maybe without ornaments, colors, etc. This list (six generations) was rewritten, letter by letter.

Thanks for the image -- that makes it much clearer what you're hoping for. Although I can see how that format could be useful for you, I really doubt that FamilySearch would implement such a specific report.
Your best option would be to go to the Solutions Gallery and look at the Charts options, as @Julia Szent-Györgyi recommended. Some of those solutions have descendancy reports, and even if they don't produce a report exactly how you would like, you could export the report as text and you'd have a good starting point for producing the specific format you want.

The solutions you (@Alan E. Brown and @Julia Szent-Györgyi) mention... means export all the data, acquire a new software and remake a new tree?🤔

@Carlos A. Laserna Yes, you would need to acquire new software for these solutions, although in some cases it is simply going to a different website; in others you would install software on your device. Some of these partner applications generate charts from your Family Tree data with no need to export all the data and remake a new tree. Others do require you to sync your data from Family Tree to the application, creating a tree that is either local to your computer or in some other cloud storage; it depends on the application.
