Exporting free text fields with API was created by viswanat
Hi, we are using the API to export responses and everything works ok unless we have a long free text field. This causes the export file to have multiple line breaks at this free text data field.
Seems like the export is putting new lines and commas in quotes.

e.g:

answer1
answer2
"free form answer 3"

The exported file becomes:
answer1, answer2, "free from
answer 3"

instead of

answer1, answer2, "free from answer 3"


Is there a way to avoid this? Maybe a setting I'm missing? we are using Version 2.73.1. Thank you!
