I haven't updated Dataloader for some time and am on version 56.0.6. All my extracts have the column headers in all caps, which is what one of our integrations expects to see. My colleague has just had version 64.0.0 installed, and the extracts come out with the column headers in sentence case, so our integration now can't recognise them.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue with a later version of Dataloader? Is there a workaround, apart from having to install an old version (which doesn't sound like good practice) or updating our integration to be able to read sentence case?
Is anyone else using version 64.0.0 and getting their exports with all caps in the headers?

Hello @Sara Monksfield
Yes, in Dataloader v64.0.0,+ the CSV export headers now appear in sentence case, not uppercase like in order versions. This is an intentional update, not a bug.
Update your integration to handle case-insensitive headers.
Or use a script to auto-convert headers back to uppercase post-export.
Avoid downgrading Dataloader-not safe for long-term support.
Many times confirmed this behaviour, so it's consistent across installations.
