When creating additional group instances for a group with repeater enabled, delimiting messes up the submission CSV.
If there is a group “People” which enables adding a person through a repeater, and each person has a FirstName and LastName field, there is an issue a resulting CSV if any of the fields is not filled in because Forminator doesn’t create a delimiter “/” for each repeater instance field but only for the ones that are filled in on submission.
As a result, CSV would show column “People – FirstName” with value “John / Anne / Mark” and for “People – LastName” values will be “Smith / Baker” for three persons that were submitted (John Smith, Anne (no last name), Mark Baker). If trying to parse the CSV, we would think that our persons are John Smith, Anne Baker and Mark (no last name).
Without having to use a default value for all the fields, which is not convenient because placeholders are needed, how can this be solved?
Would it be possible to have the CSV to include all the empty fields as well so that we would have “Smith / / Baker” or even “Smith / — / Baker” for even easier parsing afterwards?
