Contacts Import

[markm]

I have been working on importing my contacts for speed dial use and have run into an issue I can not get by.

The import works great for contact information, but once i add anything from contact_phones (phone_type_voice,phone_primary,phone_number,phone_speed_dial) it is creating a separate phone record for each field added.

My Import (basic to test)
contact_type,contact_organization,phone_number,phone_speed_dial,phone_primary,phone_type_voice
customer,Customer A,6085551212,101,1,1
customer,Customer B,6085551213,102,1,1

attached is snip of mapping and also if result.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Hitting a wall.

Yeh, I'm getting the same thing. I think the following commit: 55e1e2ea355530de4a2560eade97d4c3b231dbf7 has changed how the import schema operates, but I'm not exactly sure of the logic behind it now. You can import multiple numbers for one contact, no problem:

contact_type,contact_organization,contact_name_given,contact_name_family,phone_number,phone_number,group_name Customer,foobar,adam,example,5555551,5555552,user Customer,foobar,barbara,example,5555553,5555554,user

As soon as I try to add any attributes to the numbers I'm importing, it just adds more empty lines like your picture.

contact_type,contact_organization,contact_name_given,contact_name_family,phone_number,phone_number,phone_speed_dial,phone_speed_dial,group_name Customer,foobar,adam,example,5555551,5555552,101,102,user Customer,foobar,barbara,example,5555553,5555554,103,104,user

Something ain't right with it. I can't seem to import labels, even if I give it a hand with a 'phone_label' header like the code implies, I still can't select them. If I omit it, they get the label 'Work'.

I think a bit of clarification on the new import schema wouldn't go amiss here, as it's changed some historic imports that worked fine for me on previous versions.

if you import multiple numbers you can specify the label from the drop-down

contact_type,contact_name_given,contact_name_family,phone_number,phone_number2,phone_number3

User,foo,bar,6666666,99999,7777
