Hi there,

Unfortunately, you can't change this as it is a CSV (comma-separated value file). It shouldn't cause any issues when you have a comma in a name as the "," should only be valid when it is surrounded by quotes:

","

Example:

"Test","Test","Test","Test","Port","Port","Unusual","10"

What tool do you use to check/read the CSV.

Best regards.
