- Description
A CSV file may use different delimiters (commas, semicolons, tabs) and they are used to separate values.
Depending the application you use it your field will be delimited by one of them.In the Tracker Import-Export feature (was tabular) if you try to import a CSV file were the delimiter is not a comma "," it will produce an error the "firstfieldlabel" is not found. (or something similar).
It should accept any of the 3 delimiters that are legit OR the error should said, Tiki accept only comma "," for delimiter of a CSV file.
