NS Records for Subdomains

I’m being asked to create a subdomain with nameservers pointing elsewhere.
From the looks of it, I need to create an NS record and was wondering:

Do I have to create an entry for each nameserver?
Or can I list all the nameservers in a single entry?

I have five nameservers I have to add, so I’d prefer one entry with all five, versus five entries for each nameserver.

It seems to accept the content if I separate values with a comma (e.g., NS1,NS2,NS3, etc.), however, I don’t know if that means it simply accepted the comma as a valid character or if it’ll use the comma as a delimiter for each of the nameservers.

You need a separate record for each nameserver - the dashboard accepting invalid characters (commas in this case) seems to be a recent issue. Each NS record should be pointing to a different target after all.

Great, thank you!
I added them individually just to play it safe.
Thank you for confirming!
