Hello Peter, The Query UI depends on the Whois REST API, which separates only "member:" attributes with comma-separated values, deduplicates and returns each value as a separate "members:" attribute, so member ASNs in the response can be more easily parsed. This is not done on Port 43 queries. On update, currently there is no validation done to prevent duplicate "member:" values in an AS-SET (comma-separated or not). It is possible to change either/both the query and update behaviour for AS-SET, if there is consensus to do so.
