Hello,

I am trying to copy content of one custom column to another custom column. Problem which I am experiencing is when the source column contains multiple names split by "&" for example Fname1 Lname1 & Fname2 Lname2

When I use regex replace (.*) with \1 the result in destination column is not the names split with & but names split by coma "," for example Fname1 Lname1,Fname2 Lname2

Source column is defined as "coma separated text, like tags, shown in tag browser" + "Contain names is checked
Destination column is defined as "Test, column shown in tag browser"

Thank you for help. M.
