Delimiter in Syndication Maps for Multi-Valued Fields

Question

We are in the process of upgrading to MDM 7.1 from MDM 5.5.  In one of our syndication maps we are syndicating a multi-valued hierarchy field with no particular limit as to how many values the field can hold.  In the old MDM 5.5 Syndication map the xml output delimits this data with ";" (semi-colon) as in the below example.
<Field>Level 1Level 2Value 1; Level 1Level 2Value 2;Level 1Level2Value 3</Field>
In MDM 7.1 the values are separated by a "," (comma) like in the example below.
<Field>Level 1Level 2Value 1, Level 1Level 2Value 2, Level 1Level2Value 3</Field>
Is there anyway to change the delimiter in MDM 7.1 from a "," (comma) to a ";" (semi-colon) with out splitting the field?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Courtney

Hi Brewer,
Is there anyway to change the delimiter in MDM 7.1 from a "," (comma) to a ";" (semi-colon) with out splitting the field?
Yes, for e.g in in your syndication map at source item lookup field display as follows
Country
        |___ Code
        |___ Name
just map country to destination item instead of using Code or Name, multi vaule will display with ; operator
In one of our syndication maps we are syndicating a multi-valued hierarchy field with no particular limit as to how many values the field can hold.
if you want to set length of field you require to set properties at destination item as follows :
Fixed Column Width : the specific with  destination item
Max Item Length : Maximum length allowed for the item 
Hope Above mention point will resolved your problem if not revert back
