Add two or more references in the same field of year line

The system allow up to four references in each year line.

Recently I added the references in the year lines of the coin N#110699 but there are five references (KM# 69, Cal# 72, Aureo# 175, CruSeg# 107, CruSeg# 108). I wrote two of them in the same field because of they are from the same catalogue (CruSeg# 107, CruSeg# 108), but there are problems with their display and the search results.

Edit: This is a special case and I finally wrote each reference in one year line, but I keep the suggestion.

The coin has two year lines with CruSeg# references:

1. CruSeg# 107, CruSeg# 108
2. CruSeg# 109
    

and I tested write the references of the line 1 in different formats. This works

• Case 1: comma-separated ✔️
  Field year line 1: 107,108
  Display in the page: CruSeg# 107-109
  Search CruSeg#: 107, 108 and 109 find the coin.

and these do not work

• Case 2: comma and space separated
  Field year line 1: 107, 108
  Display in the page: CruSeg# 107-109
  Search CruSeg#: 107 and 109 find the coin, but 108 does not. ❌
• Case 3: hyphen-separated
  Field year line 1: 107-108
  Display in the page: CruSeg# 107-108, 109 ❌
  Search CruSeg#: 109 find the coin, but 107 or 108 does not. ❌
• Case 4: slash-separated
  Field year line 1: 107/108
  Display in the page: CruSeg# 107/108, 109 ❌
  Search CruSeg#: 109 find the coin, but 107 or 108 does not. ❌

I have a question to @Xavier… Is the comma-separated references format expected by the system? Or is it a coincidence?
and a suggestion: Accept this format (if it has not already) and comment the possibility of using it in the FAQ articles

You can write Cruseg#107 in one year line and Cruseg#108 in another. If the catalogue has two numbers is because there are differences.

You can write Cruseg#107 in one year line and Cruseg#108 in another. If the catalogue has two numbers is because there are differences.

I used the same year line for both references because the difference is small variation in the lettering. I will ask you in the referee forum.

This is a special case and can be solved with two year lines, but I keep the suggestion. 😁
