Create List export should have option to include subfield delimiters
When exporting data from Create List, it would be useful to be able to include subfield delimiters in the data.
Idea Value
Sometimes I want to export data so I can search and manipulate the data in another system like Excel or OpenRefine. However the Export Records function leaves out subfield delimiters. So for example 020|a and 020|z become exactly the same in the exported data.

Having this as an option, just a checkbox in the Export Records option, would be very useful. With the subfield delimiters, it would be much easier to separate information within a field, such as dividing the title and author information from the 245, in Excel.
