Django Admin Model ArrayField Change Separator

Question

My model looks like this:

from django.contrib.postgres.fields import ArrayField
class Trigger(models.Model):
    solutions = ArrayField(models.TextField(blank=True, null=True), blank=True, null=True, help_text='some helpful text')

This allows me to enter a comma separated list of solutions by default. For example: I can enter in this text box:

1. watch out for dust.,
2. keep away from furry animals.,

This creates a list of two separate string elements. However, if the decision text itself contains a comma, for example:

1. cockroaches, polens and molds might be harmful. 

This will create two separate solution lines due to the presence of a comma in this sentence.

How to tell django to use a different separator than a comma, as this will almost certainly be part of the sentences. How to use delimiter as '|'? I looked into the array class, but it does not allow separation.
