  • Summary
    When a user uploads a file which does not have required columns in it. The alert that the user gets returns the keys for any missing required columns instead of the labels. This makes it extremely confusing for a user when keys are not exactly the same as the column names.

All alerts to the user should return the label for the column. This also occurs for mismatched select options when the label and value keys are used.

  • Other information
    To recreate use the vanilla Jquery example, make multiple columns required. Upload a csv with only a robot name column. Try to continue past the mapping section. You will see a similar message to what I have in the screen shot.

Feel free to contact me about this problem, I have reported multiple issues to sales folks who have contacted me but have heard nothing about any of the issues. So I have started reporting here. If this is not the correct place to report issues please give me a contact or location where I can report them. This is a show stopper currently for us to use in production code as our keys are not always user friendly.

Thanks for reporting this. We're actively working on an update to this experience and will follow up once it's available. We should be able to get you preview access this week.

@lramirez925 This issue has definitely been resolved in v2 of the importer. If you haven't already, please try it out!
