Escaping Comma in Custom Comma Separated Text Column

[Kelpman]

Hi there!

Short question regarding custom columns: I need a custom column that behaves exactly like the "Comma separated text, like tags, shown in the Tag browser", but allows some form of escaped comma.

E. g. the field should accept values like ['This is an example', 'This is an example \, too'].

Is this possible? The only way I found is using comma-like diacritics or similar looking characters instead of a regular comma.

Best regards

Many have asked, none have received. There's been no interest so far in implementing custom delimiters (tag or hierarchical) or escaping delimiters.

I'd be willing to take a run at it, but my Python's not so strong and I don't know all the ramifications of the change, so I'd more like break things here than fix them.

Thanks for the reply! It's a shame, but I can work with it.

If anyone else is struggeling with this I recommend using the single low-9 quitation mark diacritic (unicode U+201A) which looks identical to me:

comma: ,
diacritic: ‚
