Hi all,
just doing some tests with CSV and I notice that for string object values including commas it will put quotes around the value, but if there is a string containing a new line (e.g.) it doesn't.
This has some strange effects for things like Excel.
Wondering if this feature could be an addition.
(Example flow - CSV NR v2.1.4 on Windows)

]
output is:
name1,name2,name3
value1,"value,2",value
3
value1b,"value,2b",value
3b
if I manually put quotes around the strings with carriage returns, Excel is happy with it:
name1,name2,name3
value1,"value,2","value
3"
value1b,"value,2b","value
3b"
