CSV Import for Project Tasks

Hi Todd,

Great point and here’s a summary to the questions asked above:

We have some additional functionality rolling out over the next 7 days that addresses some of the questions asked here:

  • Dependents will be enabled as a mappable field
  • Collaborators will be enabled as a mappable field (and now supports multiple collaborators)
  • The import status message in the bottom left will update when the import has completed

Other answers

  • Importing to organizational custom fields can be done but requires the organizational custom field to be added to the project first. We’ll be adding clearer instructions in the guide for this. The reason behind this is that project-local custom fields are less confusing for newer users.
  • The invite functionality is no longer in the CSV importer due to some confusion it was causing (the importer isn’t clear on where the invited users were getting invited to, what they’ll have access to, what their experience will be). We recommend using our project invite screen which we’ll continue to improve. Invited users can then be utilized in the importer for assignee/collaborator.
