When uploading author names with two commas in it, like "Snerd, Mortimer, III", I get the error "Can't flip around multiple ',' characters in:" and the author is not added.

Is this "works as designed" and I'll just have to run my citations through a script to remove the comma, or is this a problem?

Thanks

Does it work with lowercase i's (Snerd, Mortimer, iii) if no then, I'm afraid that's "works as designed". Unfortunately, there are about a zillion ways to represent author names and it's almost impossible to parse them all.

"Jr" is also a problem and a pretty common name variant. This eliminates uploading via pmid list since I can't preprocess the names.
