CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

For example I am exporting an number of contacts who have several tags ea from another program.
If would be nice if I could create columns like Tag 1 Tag 2 Tag 3 so when I import it CiviCRM Import would give me an option in the pulldown menu to match the Column to field Tag.
Right now I can associate a total import to a tag but that would really make this a tough import.

What I tried so far what to create a custom multi select field called Person Intrests.
Then that would have a list of items that are associated with the import.
For example the import files looks like this
first, last, address, Personint, PersonInterests1, PersonInterests2
Test, Import, Test Address, Blogger, Budget, Housing
---end
Now the thing is PersonInterests1 and PersonInterests2 both are Interests to be chosen in the MultiSelect Custom Field called Person Interests.
But during the import, instead of it multiplying the selection, the last one over does the first.

Just wondering (and I am searching more) what is the best practice to import multi-select fields for example a custom field.
Thanks
