      Description

      You should be able to import Preferred Communication value with a list of valid option values using the same format as the export creates - a comma separated list with space. Currently we throw an error:

      Invalid value for field(s) : Preferred Communication Method

      ... when I use a value like this:

      "Email, Postal Mail"

      ... which is how we export multiple values. We should strip out the spaces prior to evaluating the options in the list.

      NOTE: If we eliminate the space in the list, then it seems to work - i.e.
      "Email,Postal Mail"
