Confiforms API Import - Text area field with carriage returns no mapping properly

[Jason Walsh]

Good evening,

I'm attempting to import a pipe delimited CSV into a confiform API. This CSV contains some Text Area field types with all kinds of special characters and line breaks. When examining the first record for import, it appears that the text field captures the data up until there was a carriage return.

Sample cell from my CSV. Note the new lines in the cell

Column on the API Upload UI when it looks like the record gets cut

Looks like new lines are created for each carriage return from that cell

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

At the moment we dont support new lines in Import API for text area fields. Each new line in the CSV is considered as new row to import
