Make clear that sample CSV files are not usable - or eliminate them #1593

Closed alexrollin closed 2 years ago

alexrollin commented 3 years ago

When the site owner is on the importer page he is 2 steps from exporting.

Why do we provide sampel CSV files, - especially when some members mistakenly use them - and they will not import, won't work. So we get tickets about it.

Can we just remove the samples? Or add text that warns them not to actually use the sample files because they don't work?

Can we get contextual help on this page instead that points them to an FAQ about importing?

Why don't they work?

alexrollin commented 2 years ago

They are missing the default category column, for starters.

The file also contains more than the default fields, so, will probably not work no matter what the user does with the field configuration.
