Description

It is unclear how to add multiple ignored features upon dataset creation, i.e. whether they should be separated by space, comma, or something else. On a related note, there does not seem to be an explicit check on whether this field is entered correctly? I tried spaces and commas and neither resulted in an error, nor in the features being added as 'ignored'.

Research direction

Start by locating the dataset-creation handling for the ignored-features field and reproduce the behavior with space- and comma-separated values. Determine the accepted format and whether invalid input is rejected; done means multiple features are correctly marked as ignored and malformed input produces a clear error.
