Description
What type of issue is this?
Missing compatibility data

The property is now defined in CSS gaps rather than multi-col.
This is true for column-rule color, style, and width.

Start with the BCD entry queried as css.properties.column-rule-color and compare it with the MDN page and the CSS Gaps specification linked in the issue. Check how the related column-rule-color, column-rule-style, and column-rule-width data represent syntax, then update the compatibility data so the comma-separated values and repeat() function are reflected and validate it with bdc.
