I&#8217;ve noticed that: <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Using the Mailchimp function will break: E-mail adresses may not be added to the list.<br \/>\n&#8211; Exports will have a potential problemetic bug: Exports opened in excel will have all data in a single column seperated by commas EXCEPT for data that contained an &#8216;&amp;&#8217;. Data after this &#8216;&amp;&#8217; will be in a seperate column.<\/p>\n<p>Working is:<br \/>\n&#8211; All information is e-mailed correctly, regardless of using &#8216;&amp;&#8217; or not.<br \/>\n&#8211; All information is stored correctly, regardless of using &#8216;&amp;&#8217; or not.<\/p>\n<p>Would be great if we could get a fix for that.
