CSV Import
« on: April 02, 2007, 11:11:12 am »
Is there a capability to add new fields to a CSV import and then re-import a CSV file after it's been imported the first time?

In other words, say I imported a CSV file. But then later I realized I also needed to add a new (custom) field to the CSV file.

Is there a way to then repeat the import of the CSV file where the CSV file has the original data PLUS the new field and have EA basically just update its internal data (the import) adding only the new custom field when I import the CSV file for the second time?

Thanks in advance.

Short answer - no.  CSV import is treated as new objects.  CSV import is also not tagged value aware - so unless you are importing into the base attributes, you cannot say add a tagged value of "foo" to your objects and import a "foo" column from a CSV.
