CSV Export v1.4 - some changes are missing in LSA #1219

Hi @MollyMcEvilley , @JulesABrown ,

There are a few changes in https://files.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/HMIS-CSV-Format-Specifications-2024.pdf that are not reflected in LSA. I would like to confirm with you if we should keep these differences.

1. ProjectCoC.csv -> Geocode column. It is now nullable in CSV Export spec, but mandatory for LSA:

CSV Export spec: image

LSA: image image

2. Inventory.csv -> CoCCode column. It is now nullable in CSV Export spec, but mandatory for LSA:

CSV Export spec: image

LSA: image image

I believe for LSA Inventory.csv -> CoCCode should be mandatory. Should LSA Spec be updated to not refer to HMIS CSV documentation?

Best regards, Natalie

These fields may be nullable in the general sense, but the upload will be rejected if they are null because the data are required / mandatory for the LSA and projects included therein.
