Full Version: Artists metadata field | Not Populating as a List

I just noticed today that the 'Artist' (Artists) metadata field isn't importing as a list. Instead it is importing as a single, comma separated, string. I could be crazy (in fact some say I definitely am) but I swear this was importing as a list in the past (and the PDFs I imported during my forScore migration, for which I had populated that field, are showing that field as lists in MobileSheets).

I just now tried setting the Artist metadata field in a test PDF using: 
comma [space], 
semi-colon [space], 
comma [no-space], 
semi-colon [no-space]

None of those four tested formats worked to get a list vs single string.
I'll take a look at it using the files you previously provided for testing.

Thanks Mike.
You are correct - based on some files supplied by other users, I had made a change to standardize the symbols used as delimiters, so semi-colons were converted to commas. However, this messes up the processing for Artists and Composers, as I don't split those on comma (as it could be last name, first name). I'll get this fixed for the next update.

Thanks,
Mike
