Tag fields pulled from Pocket - formatting issue?

I'm having difficulty using the Pocket integration to push new entries to Airtable. Pocket allows me to save "Tags" associated with each saved item, but the format of these tags in Zapier is difficult to account for using the interface.

For example, if I save a web page with the tags "MySQL", "Pocket", & "App Integration", the data pulled from Pocket is formatted like this:

Hi @ello!

I took a look at Zapier's notes on this one and it's not currently possible to get all the tags in one field, I'm sorry about that.

We do currently have a feature request open for this and I've added you as another vote for this addition. I don't have an ETA of when or if this will happen, but we will definitely email you if it does become a reality. 

I'm afraid that I can't really think of a good workaround either, I'm sorry 🙁
