Description

Problem

When selecting a storage blob, the delimiter is automatically populated with a comma, but all the blobs at our institution use a different character, so we have to change it every time we preview a file.

Desired Solution

I'd like it if there were an option in Settings to specify a default delimiter.

Research direction

Start with the storage-blob selection and file-preview flow, then trace how the Settings screen handles persisted options. Done means users can specify a default delimiter in Settings and that delimiter is used automatically when previewing a selected blob.
