 =====Remarks=====
+By default, when the file name has no extension, the action automatically appends the extension ".csv" to it.
 The "Append to file" operation doesn't change the order of the columns in the appended dataset, even if columns in the existing file are in a different order. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created automatically (the row with headers will be inserted first, in this case).\\
