Selecting File Format and Encoding on Gallery

[Carlithian]

After a recent update to the MongoDB I have noticed that some workflows which previously just let the user download a csv file, now require them to select the file format and encoding type. 

Though this seems pretty useful, it is causing confusion amongst some teams and it would be easier if I can turn this option off. 

Does anyone know if this is possible?

hi @Carlithian , i had a look into the release notes as well as any option that can be configurable and I have't found any way to turn this off.

Nevertheless if you select your output to be xlsx instead of csv, the Encoding type won't appear

Is there any way to convert this into an Idea? This has to do with the recent 2019.4+ server release (not MongoDB). We crave options, please give admins options, Alteryx. The encoding list also appears when you have a yxdb output and the user selects csv. I much preferred the previous design for yxdb to this.
