import from csv file

Added by Roger Layani almost 14 years ago

I am trying to import from a csv file using import plugin.
1- I upload the csv file
2- I do fields mapping using the interface
3- Submit the prcess run and I get message:
Import Result
454 issues processed. 0 issues successfully imported
in the server background the message is:

If you figure out what the problem is, please post a follow up. I'm struggling with the exact same problem.

I've started to strip down what I'm importing and have discovered that if the subject field is empty (or I presume more than one line), the import fails. Check the "Summary" field of your data to verify that none are empty (you are mapping this to "subject").

I think that one is usually to do with required fields being null. Try importing a test csv which you've written in notepad.

9 times out of ten the problem is a comma or some foreign character in one of your fields. Try in notepad like Harry said and try in Excel or Open Office to see which column sticks out like a sore thumb beacuse it won't line up.
