I'm importing an Excel CSV.
I have the columns defined and format set.
on import I "lock" structure,

but when importing the data, Confluence resets smartlinks to Tags without asking (the fields are URLs) 
Is there a way to force the column settings?

Hi @Chuck Blevins ,

I've just tested it and it seems to be working fine. For example, I have Smart Link field in Database and I have URL column in my CSV. When I imported content from CSV to Database it looks fine:

Can you confirm you're doing the correct field mapping? Also, what do URLs look like in the CSV? Not sure if URLs need to start with http/https to be imported properly 👀

Cheers,
Tobi

Looks like a bad character in the the field. Fixing.

Thanks.
