Hi Brian, Unfortunately we do not support custom attributes as part of the CSV metadata import.
This will be a useful feature so it's something we could consider. It will require a change in the way we deal with CSV - currently we do not parse the column headers and rely on the column order (in fact there is no official CSV spec and so headers are not mandatory). I have written a blueprint here. We cannot guarantee a version for delivery at this point though. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dhis2/+spec/csv-custom-metadata-attributes Custom attributes are supported for JSON and XML so you could write some sort of script/tool that transforms it into those formats as a work-around. best regards, Lars On Thu, Jun 9, 2016 at 4:17 PM, Brian O'Donnell <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Im updating some village coordinates via CSV.
