Why does a comma inside a product description create an extra CSV column?
KitForma editorial guide. The description must be one quoted field when it contains the delimiter.
Step-by-step guidance
The description must be one quoted field when it contains the delimiter. For example, use "Red, blue" as one CSV cell, and double a literal quote inside a quoted cell. Validate the file with https://kitforma.com/en/csv-validator/ and inspect the reported record width. Use a CSV exporter instead of joining values with commas in a text editor. Test a description containing a comma, quotation mark and line break before exporting the catalog.
