Im extremely disappointed in the new changes to the CSV import. It has made adding a large list of tasks into an existing project very complicated. Also your training link is broken now.
Does this link work for you?
Hello Jerod,
Thanks for the link! It seems like the new UI has added a lot of additional work for me.
Field mapping feels terribly clunky.
It is definitely a new feel but once you digest the changes I think you will find that the auto-mapping is actually quite useful!. Be sure to add any Custom Fields to your project before starting the import. I would also recommend to name the columns in your CSV the same as they are named within Asana. After taking these 2 steps I have found that a vast majority of the time I don’t have to make a single change and can begin importing right after browsing in the file. Let me know if you have specific questions I can help with. Hope you enjoy it!
Hi all. I’m glad others have identified issues with the new CSV Import. I didn’t find this thread or the Guide page particularly helpful in resolving the issue that I am having. Here is my question:
When you import, how do you prevent sections from being added alphabetically rather than the order they are listed?!
I’m going mad trying to upload the next quarter’s projects! I already had to unexpectedly rework my established CSV Import Spreadsheets, hunt down info on how to get my sections back, and now I run into this. Needless to say, I’m not very happy about this update.
