Well now I know what caused it, the Name field and the alias field were the same, I changed it and one other record that was like that and it imported fine
Not sure if I am doing something wrong or what...
I have a csv file that has all the columns in it, I have the associated structure file.
When I do an import with both the suffix, prefix and other name fields, RW gets to either 55 or 85% and crashes or I get the attached message when generating. If I remove the suffix and other name fields I get a successful (somewhat - I need to a heap of post processing) import.
Any ideas ? I am sure it must be me doing something wrong.
I've uploaded the csv file for reference too.
found it..... damn nabbit….. was a hidden character that was upsetting it. The only way I could find it was to copy the text from excel into word and turn on hidden stuff....It might be that one of your names is " (a single double-quote character) or it might contain only white space (spaces, tabs, line breaks).
Ok, I may have stumbled upon a bug. I restarted the app and it is now working.
Has anyone else had difficulties with imports with this pairing? I've run into an odd situation where annotations are causing the import to error out. Specifically, it seems the error occurs when placing an annotation on a numeric facet (Label: Numeric field Annotation text box). The numeric field goes in fine, but unless I leave the annotation out of the import, the import hits about 39% and then the application quits with a lovely bug report dialog.
Hi Taronthir,
Is the text being put into the annotation just good old plain text, or does it contain some HTML markup (or if importing from Excel does it contain some formatting)?
The annotation field should be plain text. Mostly it's just extra notes explaining more about the numeric field - as an example, the numeric field might be the number of attacks per combat turn for an entry, and the annotation might be that the attacks are 2 punches and a head butt. The annotations were all hand-typed, so the only formatting would be whatever excel puts in by default for a general text cell. None of the annotations are larger than about 75 characters, and I avoided both single and double quotes in them. Other special characters might include +, -, or parentheses, but nothing outside of normal punctuation.
I will have a look at how annotations are managed for each type of snippet at the weekend. Hopefully it is a simple change![]()
