Import/update doesn't populate custom fields

Drupal6 / Civi4.22
Importing data to update existing contracts doesn't populate custom Select fields (works fine on text and AdvMulti-Select fields). Any idea if there is a way to patch this?

can you check on the demo server and see if this is an issue with the drupal 7 version also?

Hi Lobo -
I created custom fields of all types and tested an import of them all. All of the custom fields import fine on the Civi 7 demo, except for:
  • the AutoComplete Select field. It imports fine and updates the data. However the new data is only visible in edit mode and not in view mode.
  • the ContactRef autocomplete field (I haven't worked out how to write the info in my upload file so that the system accepts it on import)
.
