How to add more than one author by using the import-tool

I have only a short question: I wonder if it is possible to add more than one author to a written work by using the import tool?
best regards,
Frank

It depends on how you're loading the data, but if you're just trying to load a bunch of book/author pairs, you can do it by duplicating the book on two lines. E.g.:
BookA / Author1
BookA / Author2
The two BookAs can be merged to the same topic, so you should end up with two authors on the same book. UNLESS you are creating a new book, in which case two book topics will be created. (Note that I haven't actually tried this, but I can't think of a reason it shouldn't work.)
There's no way to put multiple values for a non-unique property in one line, though.

@jeff Actually, you can also add new books this way and only a single book will be created. The tool matches items with the same name.
