Import CSV is confusing subprojects

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with the "import data" functionality.
In order to update several fields in my Activities list, I did an export to CSV of my project's activites, did my updates in Excel, and then imported the modified activities.

My problem is I have the following project structure:
>MyProject trunk
>>SubProj1
>>>Support Project
>>>>Activities...
>>>Development Project
>>SubProj2
>>>Support Project
>>>>Activities...

So if I export my project's activities, it looks like this:
idprojectname
1SupportActivitiy_name
2Supportother_activity

Problem is, when I import the CSV file, the tool does not know whether the "Support" project is the one in SubProj1 or in SubProj2...
I think it always takes the first project ID where name = "Support", so I find myself with some activities which have been moved to a different subproject - which is not what I expected ! :oops:

As a quick fix, I was thinking maybe when we export to CSV, fields such as "idProject", "idActivity" (parent activity) could be exported as "1234-Name" (concatenation of ID & name, to ensure uniqueness).

Any thoughts ? I would definitely be interested in a quick patch... :blush:
If it can help I'll have a developer take a look, see if it's feasible - so if you have any suggestions, more than welcome !

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the huge post.

Hi,

If exported as ID+NAME, import will fail everytime.

What is possible is to select to export references as ID or NAME.

Of, course no good to change export by itself, since import will be lost... :pinch:
