Hi, Had similiar problem when converting data from other ILS to Koha-compatible format. I guess such 'collisions' are normal and unavoidable, and there`s nothing permanent we can do about it. It`s not a real pain, though - it would be, if you couldn`t choose separator other than comma. I chose a '{}' separator and got used to using it very quickly. Conclusion: it`s a minor inconvenience, not a real problem - just like adjusting seat and mirrors in a new car.

Yup, I agree that it is an inconvenience since using tab as a separator works. I thought I should at least mention it here. Future readers will see that it hasn't gone un-noticed and that it is a known issue with a solution or work around. However, what's not clear to me is why is there an option of the comma separators at all since it is bound to create problems in author fields at least if not in others. You chose "{}". How do you select your own separator? I only have the commas and tabs as two options. Regards.
