### Apache Hop version? SNAPSHOT-20250604 ### Java version? openjdk version "17.0.11" 2024-04-16 LTS ### Operating system macOS ### What happened? The enclosure character in the Concat Fields transform is completely ignored and is never applied in the actual concatenation. This seems related to #3189, where the dependency on Text File Input in the original PDI step was removed, and with it the enclosure functionality in the concatenation. This seems to have never been noticed (or reported), and all integration tests happily pass with this incorrect enclosure result. This bug has been introduced very early in the Apache Hop days. A straightforward fix (correctly apply the enclosure symbol) would probably break so many pipelines that simply applying the enclosure correctly is not an option. A suggested fix is to add a "force enclosure" option that will be disabled by default initially and can be enabled by default later on. This force enclosure should set to enabled in the PDI/Kettle importer. ### Issue Priority Priority: 2 ### Issue Component Component: Transforms -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
