[Feature request] Being able to import custom field thanks to the csv import feature #47

Open Kassouma opened 5 years ago

Kassouma commented 5 years ago

We can see custom fields in a csv export, but if we import a csv , it seems that we are not able to specify those fields in our csv. Do you think it's possible for you to do that? Thanks a lot for this plugin btw !

Definitely possible. I just have no idea when I might even get around to do it, and make no promises as to a time frame. I try to keep these plugins maintained, but new features are time consuming, and I lack time in my life right now.

As my need was more oriented on importing a xlsx file (converting each line to a task) I wrote my own importing script using kanboard API. Metadata is available in the API so it's very easy to do!

Hi @Kassouma maybe you could share your import script here? Mass importing through csv with extra metadata is very helpful, and maybe someday @creecros will add this feature :-)

creecros commented 3 years ago

just an FYI, importing custom fields through the api, will have no restrictions based on the defined custom field. i.e., there is nothing to stop a "number" field from receiving a non numerical string, or a dropdown list from receiving an item not on the list.

it shouldn't break anything tho.
