Update a field with multi-select using csv upload

We have contacts who have gone to multiple events and we want to be able to update this using csv upload. A similar idea is how Mailchimp has tags.

Is it possible to set up a multi-select field, and then whenever you upload a contact that field gets updated to show the different events? I know I might need to clarify this question a bit better.

RE: Update a field with multi-select using csv upload

Hi,

I am afraid that's not possible with CSV upload.

You will have to write code/use power automate.

Create text field and use this field for CSV import, now write plugin/power automate to fetch existing selected value of multi select field and append new value based on your text field.

RE: Update a field with multi-select using csv upload

ok that is helpful, but what if we upload four different csv files at different times.

sheet 1:

adam - event1

sheet 2:

adam - event2

how can we make it so that adam's record updates event1 and event2 even though they were uploaded from different sheets.
