### Apache Hop version? 2.11 ### Java version? 21.0.5 ### Operating system Windows ### What happened? My transformation has a field of data type "string". Most values are whole numbers but there are a few exceptions containing letters. On text file output (field set to string) only the fields with numbers are written, those containing non numeral characters are left blank. This only occurs if there is a lot of lines without non numerals first. In my example the first value with non numerals is in line 350. The screenshots show the data being displayed correctly in the output preview but not written correctly (opened the csv with excel)    It seems HOP tries to determine the data type from the first X lines instead of using the type determined in the fields section. Then values unfit for the determined type (String to Int) are skipped. Thanks in advance:) ### Issue Priority Priority: 3 ### Issue Component Component: Hop Gui -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
