I am importing 1400+ nodes from a csv and I am having an issue because many of the terms in my category contain comma's. I am separating the terms using double pipe || but the node import is also separating the terms which have commas in them into separate terms.

So the terms: "Brushes / Pinstriping||Bronze, Cast||Curing Systems / Equipment"
Become:

  • Brushes / Pinstriping
  • Bronze
  • Cast
  • Curing Systems / Equipment

I've tried using a different separator for the values in my csv such as tab with the same results. I am about to try doing a "find and replace" for all of the commas, replacing them with ? and trying the import again - fixing the terms after import.

BTW the taxonomy that i am using is setup as tags and select multiple.

Another solution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This contains information why this is happening, but no fix yet.

A work-around would be to replace the "," (comma) by something else (eg "--") and then manually changing the "--" to "," by editing the terms. The association of term to node would remain.
