Importing data from template fails

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 655

Hi all,

I'm trying to import data into my tasks entity but it's failing with the error "The source data is not in the required format."  The data is an optionset, and it shows up in the excel template as a dropdown to select from values.  When i upload, it fails even though the value is correct.

I've tried different ways, but i always end up with the same error.  The category column is pointing to an existing global option set.  Is it because of that? I never had this problem before.

    Figured it out.  There was another attribute with the same 'Category' display name in my task entity. I renamed it, and the import was successful!
