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,

          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.
