      When exporting data from Confluence Cloud Databases to CSV, the export is currently comma-delimited by default. However, this causes issues when the data itself contains commas (,) — for example, in sentence-style text fields. This results in:

      • Misaligned columns when opening the CSV in spreadsheet tools like Excel or Google Sheets
      • Corrupted or hard-to-parse data when ingesting into other systems

      Request:
      Please allow users to choose the delimiter (e.g., semicolon ;, tab \t, or pipe |) when exporting databases to CSV. Ideally, this would be a dropdown or setting during export.

      Why this matters:

      • Makes exported CSVs usable even with comma-containing data
      • Reduces manual cleanup or the need for custom scripts to fix exported files
      • Improves data portability and compatibility with external tools
