I am having a problem downloading results obtained using the Kibana SQL Workbench. It appears that the downloaded file is truncated when a "#" character appears in the text. For example, here is the last record in the downloaded file for different file types: CSV: `2021-08-25T15:46:43.842Z,sas-config-init,DEBUG,Starting Iteration` TXT: `2021-08-25T15:46:43.842Z|sas-config-init|DEBUG|Starting Iteration` JSON : ``` "message": "Starting Iteration ``` JDBC : ``` "Starting Iteration ``` Here is the offending line as it appears in the Results viewer/table: `127 2021-08-25 15:46:43.842 sas-config-init DEBUG Starting Iteration #1` Is there a way to get around this problem, and download the entire file? ---

Hi @Vince_D! Is it possible you meant to open this topic under the [Elastic Stack - Discuss the Elastic Stack](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elastic-stack/81) topic with the Kibana tag? ---

Maybe so, @Brian_McGue. It's my first post and I guess I made it in the wrong area. Is there a way to move it, or should I create a new post there? ---

Looks like you got it! ---

Not sure what you mean. ---

I just mean it looks like the post has been switched to the Elastic Stack topic and is tagged with Kibana now, which seems correct. ---
