Not able to create a TXT record that contains Double quotes #115

Open maltsaar opened 2 days ago

maltsaar commented 2 days ago

Is there any way to create a TXT record that contains Double quotes?

  - ttl: 120
    type: TXT
    value: Hello world

and

  - ttl: 120
    type: TXT
    value: '"Hello world"'

both result in:

  - ttl: 120
    type: TXT
    value: \"Hello world\"

results in:

How do I get the following result?

As far as I can tell it's not possible to create a unquoted TXT value in CF. If I enter "Hello World" in the UI:

and dig gives me:

If I enter Hello World, no quotes, in the UI it adds the quotes back once saved:

and dig returns the same (quoted) thing.

In both cases the API returns the string quoted:

['_digme',
 {'octodns': {'cloudflare': {'auto-ttl': True}},
  'ttl': 500,
  'type': 'TXT',
  'value': '"Hello World"'}]

All of this matches the behavior of octoDNS's YamlProvider, which effectively treats Hello World and "Hello World" the same.
