Comments
It would be helpful to be able to set the join character. A space (" ") is not always appropriate, such as when your multivalue field values contain spaces.
Woodcock - Thanks for the feedback. I will communicate this request to the product team. Please also file an enhancement request through the support portal so we can track the request properly.
This command should be modified to take a list of fields so that multiple fields can be handled in a single pass through the data.
