tip

In the Result Format, the Template Toolkit template engine is used to output the $inbound array in a FOREACH loop.

In the file name of the results, you just need to change the file extension to csv.

To make the "Initial text" option available in the Task Editor, you need to activate "More options". In "Initial text," we write the names of the columns separated by commas, and make the second line empty.
