Originally created by @Armadill0 on GitHub (Jan 3, 2017).

Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

If you export data and reimport it and there are description fields containing commas, those would lead to wrong data imports.

On fields which can contain user defined strings, it would be great to have a double quote field value delimiter, to avoid such problems. This is also covered by the CSV RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180 (paragraph 2.5 and 2.6)

This has already been implemented (#422). Have you found a specific area where it isn't working?

I explicitly found it for "Role" of the Prefixes export. I'll have a look in my other exports tomorrow if there are more occurences.

Oh my mistake, I was only looking at import. Yeah, we can add this to the to_csv() method on models with export capability.
