Forms exports with line feeds (LF), that makes analysing the export complicated #1775

Description

Describe the bug
If a user fills in a long text and he uses line feeds to structure his text, this line feeds are also exported with the .csv making it hard to analyse the export with other tools. First you need to remove this extra line feeds in every line a line feed was used with e.g. Notepad++ and then you can move on.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a form with a long text
  2. Fill in the long text and use line feeds in the text
  3. Export the form as .csv
  4. Open the .csv with e.g. Notepad++ to see the extra line feeds

Expected behavior
I would except that the extra line feeds in long texts do not appear in the export.
