Different column headers

  • Hi, I can’t get the plugin to upload a a CSV that isn’t the default set of column headers. This text in the plugin seems to be contradictory.

    The text reads:

    This means your spreadsheet needs to have 11 columns, and the heading in each of those columns needs to match exactly the names above. If there is no data for a particular column, you can include it and leave it blank, or leave it out entirely. The order of the columns doesn’t matter.

    If the imported CSV file has a different column set, that column set will be imported and used. If a column name does not match a defined column in the database, the import will be aborted and a list of the incorrect column names will be displayed.

    The first paragraph say they must be exactly as the sample, but reading that second paragraph suggests I can create a new set of columns as long as there are 11 with different headers for different information.

    But I have tried several time to upload a new set of headers without success.

    All I want to do is have columns that are first_name, Last_name, email, dob, age, club, id

    Is this possible?

    You cannot create new columns with a CSV import, you must define all the columns you want to use on the Manage Database Fields page first.

    The important thing is that the CSV header line must match the names (not the titles) of the fields you are importing.
