When using the "Add Multiple" option in the Admin Website, if a player has more than 2 words in their name (Miguel Dos Santos), it throws off everything after that player's name, resulting in incorrect information in many fields. This is because of the use of a space as the field delimiter in the batch entry area. Using something like "|" (pipe) would be better and would correct this issue.

Using something like a pipe would make it not work as seamlessly with programs like Excel for copy/paste.
We would suggest removing the space (e.g. use "DosSantos") when using the batch entry, and you can then edit the user to include a space after the player is added.

Why wouldn't comma separated work? Isnt CSV a common way to do this? Space also works poorly when you want to skip a field.

Right now you can select data from an Excel spreadsheet by highlighting the columns, doing an Edit->Copy, and pasting it right into the batch add box. If we add any kind of delimiter, then you can no longer just do Copy / Paste straight from Excel into the batch entry box.

Re: Web Site - Add Multiple Players Doesn't Support 3-word Names
but if you open the csv in word, you could copy/paste from there...maybe worth the added flexibility.
