Error message "Too many fields in record" using Dynamic input and Directory as my Input

I can't figure out why I am not able to see the data once I call out which record I want using the directory tool. In the dynamic input tool, I had already created a template in .csv format because the file i am trying to open every week would be in csv format. This workflow will be ran weekly and I am trying to get the most updated csv file. Below is an example of my workflow and setting from the Dynamic Input tool. How do I resolve this issue? The error message I am getting is "Too many fields in record #1796"

 

Thank You,

Hi @blitz45 ,

 

Probably you need to choose the correct delimiter or to make your field length bigger.

@fmvizcaino  , How do I find that setting since I am not using the "Input Data" Tool? I am using the "Directory Tool" to automatically get the file.

Hi @blitz45 ,

 

It is in your dynamic input tool, in your Input Data Source template.
