Allow imported boolean fields to be interpreted in reverse #674

Closed zarniwoop closed 7 years ago

zarniwoop commented 7 years ago

As a PowerChurch user importing to OneBody from CSV, I want OneBody to let me instruct it for boolean fields to read true from the CSV as false for the import and vice versa, So that I can use the fields from PowerChurch member data such as "Adult?" and "Hide Email?" without the need to scrub them first before import.

@zarniwoop you might be interested in our onebody-sync project, which includes a script to export data from PowerChurch to CSV for import into OneBody. The script converts "adult" Y/N to "child" N/Y for import into OneBody.

Is this the only boolean field you need to reverse?

I think onebody-sync is the correct approach. Interpreting import fields in reverse seems like a fairly narrow edge case that can be handled easily by an outside script. Adding UI for this would probably just confuse people.
