Forms 2.0 - problem with pre-filled drop down values

Hi,
I've run into an issue with the field of values in a pre-populated drop down.
 
In forms 1.0 I have a drop down that has a list of areas of study for our school. The pre-populated values are in the  formatted block of text below - however this doesn't work when used in a 2.0 form..:
\|||\Architecture|||Art, Media & Design|||Aviation & Automotive|||Business & Legal Studies|||Community Services|||Computer Technologies|||Construction & Trades|||Culinary Arts|||Engineering|||Environmental|||Forestry|||General Arts & Science|||Health Studies|||Hospitality,Spa,Tourism|||Outdoor Adventure|||Police & Public Safety|||Veterinary Studies|||Automotive and Transport|||Administration and Business|||Construction Technology|||Mechanical Technology
 
For some reason when pulling the same pre-filled drop down into a 2.0 form - the source text from above has been changed/duplicated to the following...  which still doesn't work properly:
\|||\Architecture|||Art|\|||\Architecture|||Art
 Media & Design|||Aviation & Automotive|||Business & Legal Studies|||Community Services|||Computer Technologies|||Construction & Trades|||Culinary Arts|||Engineering|||Environmental|||Forestry|||General Arts & Science|||Health Studies|||Hospitality| Media & Design|||Aviation & Automotive|||Business & Legal Studies|||Community Services|||Computer Technologies|||Construction & Trades|||Culinary Arts|||Engineering|||Environmental|||Forestry|||General Arts & Science|||Health Studies|||Hospitality
Spa|Spa
Tourism|||Outdoor Adventure|||Police & Public Safety|||Veterinary Studies|||Automotive and Transport|||Administration and Business|||Construction Technology|||Mechanical Technology|Tourism|||Outdoor Adventure|||Police & Public Safety|||Veterinary Studies|||Automotive and Transport|||Administration and Business|||Construction Technology|||Mechanical Technology
 
The way around this problem for me was just to re-input the data for the 2.0 form in the new simpler style. Though for the moment I do this every time I add the drop down to a new form - as I haven't tried to change the values in the source drop down settings outside of a 2.0 form. It's used in a number of other 1.0 forms which I don't want to take the chance of  breaking.
Architecture
Art, Media & Design
Aviation & Automotive
Business & Legal Studies
Community Services
Computer Technologies
Construction & Trades
Culinary Arts
Engineering
Environmental
Forestry
General Arts & Science
Health Studies
Hospitality,Spa,Tourism
Outdoor Adventure
Police & Public Safety
Veterinary Studies
Automotive and Transport
Administration and Business
Construction Technology
Mechanical Technology
 
I'd guess that the old method of using three pipe characters and slashes has no equivalent in forms 2.0... Whatever interpretation from 1.0 to 2.0 is going on doens't seem to be workin in this case. Though there are other drop downs that have no trouble being pulled into 1.0 or 2.0...

Stewart,

If you remove the item "Hospitality,Spa,Tourism"  does the issue sill occur?

It still doesn't correct the problem for the original list.

Hospitality
Spa|Spa
Tourism

Hi,
it's not just the section with the commas that's broken in a 2.0 form - it's everything. I think the triple pipes between the selections don't work as I'd expect in the 2.0 form.
