It looks like descriptions containing a comma are not supported in external selects? For example, this list 

Group: grayleaf,feltleaf, dune, Scouler's & Sitka willow
Group: Sitka spruce, western & mountain hemlock
Group: white, Sitka, Lutz, western & mountain hemlock
Group: western & mountain hemlock
Group: white & Sitka spruce

Shows up as this

Group: western & mountain hemlock
Group: white & Sitka spruce

I looked at the itemset.csv generated by Connect and the descriptions are properly escaped by double quotes, so they should show up, according to the csv standard. I'm using version 1.10.43 of Connect.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for raising this.  There's a similar issue with commas in csv files used in pulldata(), I've added this report to that issue.
