Injection of a single column in a Data grid transform is not correct when a separator is not specified: the single columns is created, but all the values are empty/nulls.
Check discussion #5128 for an example use case and possible workarounds.

Research direction
Start with the Data grid transform's metadata injection path and compare behavior between versions 2.10 and 2.11/2.12, using discussion #5128 for the example and workarounds. Reproduce a single-column injection without a separator; done means the column is populated with its input values rather than empty or null values.
