Describe the bug

Data getting swapped around to the wrong fields. eg: "MPN"s appear in the "Manufacturer" name field. Manufacturer names appear in the "Value Field" affects similar components the same way - but some components are unaffected.

[If certain chars (commas?) appear in fields, can it cause problems?]

To Reproduce Exported a library from a schematic in KiCAD 9.0.2 Used KiField to export the library's fields to an XLS sheet Loaded into Office 365 Excel Edited the footprints field to bulk add footprint names within Excel. Saved XLS Used Kifield to update library from XLS Updated components in schematic from library Repeat process again and observe corruption in Excel data

Expected behavior Data is not moved into other fields.

OS Windows 11 2H24
Python version 3.11.5 (Part of KiCAD 9 environment)
