importing CSV files (requirements) into sandbox2
Hi,
I've seen a number of references to importing a requirements CSV file into a sandbox2 project - but no one seems to have been able to do this successfully. Can we please have a definite answer ?
Question : Are we able to import a CSV file into a Sandbox project with a bunch of requirements in it ?
Assuming that we have the :
- right column headings (ie, Type,Primary Text,Title,Description)
- file encoded with UTF8
Sample file :
Type,Primary Text,Title,Description
Requirement,"This is the primary text of my first requirement","CSV Test 1","This requirement was imported from a CSV file"
Requirement,"This is the primary text of my second requirement","CSV Test 2","This requirement was imported from a CSV file"
Requirement,"This is the primary text of my third requirement","CSV Test 3","This requirement was imported from a CSV file"
Thanks
John

Accepted answer
Hi John,
Somewhere along the way between version 3 and version 4 a change was made to the import format. The column "Type" now needs to be called "Artifact Type" for the import to succeed.
So change the first line accordingly and see if that helps.
