Bulk Import Tool - Multi-Valued property with value containing comma

[Jerry Jacob]

Hi,

First of all Thank You Peter for such a great tool. We rely a lot on this tool for our day to day activities. 

I have a property on my content model which is multi-valued and using a list constraint. One of the values in that list contains a comma in it. For e.g. Xxx, Yyy & Zzz. What I found was that the tool was considering Xxx as a separate value and fails because Xxx is not a supported value in that list. As comma is the delimiter for multi-valued properties, it is delimiting at Xxx. I tried to escape the comma but with no success.

Can you please let me know how to use the tool with multi-values containing commas?

Thanks

Jerry

G'day Jerry,

I'm fairly certain there's no way to do this currently, since I didn't write any special escaping logic in the tool and XML itself doesn't provide any way to escape commas (since they don't need to be escaped in vanilla XML).

Would you mind raising a bug report for this in the issue tracker [1]?

Thanks!
Peter

Hi Peter,

Do you know if you ever got a bug report about this and included a patch? We have experienced the same problem.

Cheers,

Michael.

G'day Michael,

I don't see any mention of this in the issues list [1], so it would be great if you could raise a bug report.

Cheers,
Peter
