Hello,

On a recent export of my DSpace metadata to CSV, I encountered a problem.

I upload all metadata through the CLI using the Simple Archive Format. 
Typically, when I export my metadata to a CSV, my metadata fields have a 
language code in brackets like this:
id,collection,dc.contributor.author[en_US],dc.title[en_US],dc.identifier.uri

On my most recent export, I now have two additional metadata columns. They are 
the same as two existing columns (dc.description.abstract[en_US] and 
dc.identifier.issn[en_US]), but without the language qualifier*. The two new 
columns are completely blank (according to Excel and Notepad++). I am not sure 
how they appeared or how to get rid of them. Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.

*The new columns appear as dc.description.abstract not 
dc.description.abstract[], which is the case when I enter metadata through the 
graphical user interface without a language code. This type of column 
repetition can be fixed by consolidating the columns and using Batch Metadata 
Editing. In my current situation though, there is no data in 
dc.description.abstract, so the Batch Metadata Editor does not detect any 
changes.

Sincerely,
David
