What Quote List Items Tool can do:

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re quoting list items, Add Quotes to Words is a great follow-up when you need more granular control like wrapping individual words inside each item. And if you ever need to clean things up or reverse it later, Unquote List Items gives you a clean undo. It’s a simple way to format for CSVs, JSON entries, or anything that needs cleanly quoted strings.
