@AljoLe What type of file is sig.all? Is it an Excel file? CSV file? Will help us track down where stringAsFactors is not being honoured!

@KentonWhite Oh sorry I omitted that information. sig.all is a csv file. In the meantime I migrated my ProjectTemplate to the latest version and now everything is imported fine. Maybe I had the "wrong" file in cache and that was why it was always imported wrong.

I´m sorry to bother you with a bug, that is not there.

Best regards and thanks for your work.
