Text field breaks into list when it finds a comma

Hi, super useful plugin, thanks for it!
I'm updating properties with a text field, inputting a Templater template to then massively update my notes. However, Multi Properties breaks the Templater into a list when it finds a comma, regardless of how I wrap the entire text input.
Any way to fix this?

Here's what I input:
yesterday: [[<%tp.file.creation_date("YYYY-MM-DD",-1)%>]]
And what I get:
yesterday:

    • '[[<%tp.file.creation_date("YYYY-MM-DD"'
  • -1)%>]]

The plugin is currently set up to look for commas and use them as a delimiter to split a string of text into a list. It's probably possible to make the delimiter changeable through Settings, with a comma as the default. Shouldn't take too much work to refactor. The code for splitting by commas can be found here.

This has been addressed in 1.1.0. You can now go into the Settings tab and change the delimiter from a comma into whatever delimiter you want.
