Hi @dorothea.per:

 

In your first screenshot, we can see the comma and non-breaking spaces between the page numbers. Was that first screen shot generated earlier by InDesign, but now the separators are being removed? If so, that points to either an issue with InDesign or an issue with the file. Your settings work exactly as expected for me.
