I wanted to make a simple app that reads from database and writes as either a csv or txt file. I created parameter to either choose csv or txt. I put that user parameter on the csv writer under dataset extension.
When I try the app, I’m able to successfully download the csv but when I choose txt - it does not download but shows the full table right on the internet browser. I was wondering how to fix this. Also I am unsure as to how to use the txt writer and put my data as csv there instead. Maybe that would be a good workaround.

I believe that is set at the browser level (default file handling or similar).
You can force the text file writer to use a specific MIME type to hopefully force the browser to download it. Try updating the writer to have a MIME type of application/octet-stream
