Same here, but i dont have any info in CUSTOM FIELDS when import subtasks. (but dates and Assigne imports fine)
See csv here
@Benjamin12 I’m led to believe there is a separate custom field this data is importing to. Your import image shows the field as a text type, but the data in your post shows colored bubbles which means it is a dropdown type…
Sorry, It’s just screenshot from my differents tries.
No matter which custom field you choose, the result is the same
here my csv screenshot:
Thanks for clarifying, @Benjamin12 ! You are absolutely correct! I just re-created what you shared and I got the exact same result. @Marie and @Emily_Roman is there a way to split off @Vince_Colvin and @Benjamin12’s replies as part of a separate Bug post?
It seems that when importing subtasks it seems the mapped Custom Fields aren’t getting applied even though they should. Below is a capture of my CSV, Import Preview and end result. Thanks!
Hi @Benjamin12 and @LEGGO
I’ve moved these posts to a separate thread to follow-up specifically on this question. I’m afraid this is not a bug but an expected behaviour, or a product limitation more precisely. Currently, the CSV importer does not support custom fields for subtasks. The reason is that technically subtasks don’t inherit custom fields from their parent task - in List projects, we’ve worked something out to show custom fields for subtasks, but this fix is limited and not supported by the CSV importer (yet!). I’ve found a task internally escalated by some of my teammates on the behalf of their customer. I’ve added your report to this task and will keep you posted as soon as I have an update on my end! If you haven’t yet, please upvote Ability to import subtasks with drop-down fields via CSV too!
Thanks @Marie!
While I understand this is not a “bug” but a limitation it is a pretty big one that should be an easy field mapping fix. I vote to add this functionality ASAP.
Thanks!
