Import CSV from Kanboard to Wekan not working

Wekan / General · April 29, 2021 at 1:38pm

Hi ! I am working for UGA, a French University, and we are currently self-hosting Wekan (vers 5.26.0) on our servers. We are using it as a Trello and Kanboard alternative. We are trying to import all our boards from Trello and Kanboard. We didn't encounter any problems with Trello export-import. However, the same doesn't go with Kanboard. When we try to import a CSV (previously exported from Kanboard), it does not work (see screenshot bellow):

Is this "normal" or is it suppose to work ? Do we need to "work" (format/modify) a little bit the Kanboard csv export in order for it to work with Wekan ?

Thank you,

Other way is to export Wekan board to JSON, and modify Kanboard CSV to Wekan JSON

    Wekan JSON also includes attachments as base64 encoded

                      It is import from Wekan CSV, not Kanboard CSV. Try modifying CSV to look like this https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brymut/github-gifs/master/wekan%3Awekan%3Aissues%3A395/board-import.csv

                        The import is from Kanboard to Wekan. But, indeed, in Wekan options, it is "import from". Not sure about it... Sorry, I'm not a native english native speaker.

                          Hmm, Yes you are correct, it should be developed to import from any CSV, with mapping of CSV to card fields. I'll add feature request.
