Contact Import Custom fields issue
January 12, 2012, 01:33:47 pm
Hi!

Ran into a peculiar issue with contact import with custom fields.  The regular inbuilt fields do not have any issue.  the problem comes when there is a mix of custom date and custom string fields.

Scenario:
Have custom fields for contact records with both date and string type of data.  While importing the records, if both date and string custom data fields are there, the import process only imports string custom data fields. When String fields are absent for a record, the data field is imported fine.

Workaround:
Ran the first import and did a re-run to update the contact record just with custom data field.

Thanks,
raj

Seems to be similar issue, though I have not checked with check box data yet.  Thanks.
