cloudflare keeps on adding parenthesis to my DNS txt record Value

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Whenever I add the following Value to a new txt record, Cloudflare keeps adding unwanted parenthesis to it. I’ve tried to edit it after adding it to remove the parenthesis, but Cloudflare keeps on adding them back in.

v=DKIM1; k=rsa; t=s; n=core; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAqkMnI6ur3+iLPmetKVWPIWMzRGbVwvU19oBX9bKv2GHY3rYtFIEiJofoxvj7/dJUTtL5jVd8HPn2RtfRJCbtc40f6IKAX4GJX12bA+CKlJn5iTsKc0PFMRAREfl10SUNjwY47lCYHE1vIyxc6w3jPzme1qyxCk0K9tkPkzs+tDA8Az9rBklhlX1ElD8Up2SQBSY6ZPhosvC1NV7dc1UeHGUUh5pLjTSl+6DwWoOp6RORKRnGKhnqKFASfADKJQRHWCr7j6IDBhaxCNhXnKZlzA0dzIOO5Ws/TXbKbexxP0JSRJ7884u5V7E3BosxlDtV23XLSqRAtKjTu9F/A4nCPwIDAQAB

The double quotes are part of the correct way to represent a TXT record content within the DNS. They’re fine to keep and not a problem. You can read more here: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-records/dns-txt-record/
