I have created a Select - Multiple field.  If I change the "Separator" value from the default of "," to anything else, the field is not displayed in the Content (i.e. in the front-end the field label and data are skipped and there is no error message).  I have tried changing it to a period, slash, a pipe character (i.e. "|"), a letter, a space, a hyphen, or even a comma with a space after it (e.g. ", ").

In my opinion, the "," doesn't make the result look very good.  Compare:
Drama,Action
Drama, Action or Drama/Action  <- I think either of these looks better than the comma with no space

If I am stuck with the "," how can I override the rendering so it looks better?

Thanks!

Hi kwoychesko,
You can change the separator but not after filling some contents.
The value of the field is saved in database, example "best,medium,high". If you changed it with existing content it will bring some issue to display the value. Check in your database. These values need to be fixed in the database.
With a very small typo plugin you can transform the field value and change any character by what you wish.
Thanks.

Hi Bes -- you're right, it was the existing data that was messing me up.
Thanks!
