Tips for Uploading CSV with Multi-Select Fields in Dovetail

·Sep 09, 2025 08:41 PM·

Hi! I am trying to upload a csv with a column where I want it to map to a multi-select field - I have the data in that column formatted as: "option 1", "option 2", "option 3" right now, but the way it's coming into Dovetail during the csv import is wonky - any tips for getting this to work properly?

so my hope is that instead, it'd show two multi-select options:
1.
"Subscribers sign up from QualityNet's public site
2.
"Subscribers are directly added by List Admins via QualityNet Workspace"

We'll be happy to look into this for you. To do so, could you grant our team access to your workspace by completing the steps below:

This seems like there's an issue in the CSV itself. You may have to search through the columns to remove the other options

ok! do you have an example of how the CSV should be formatted to make multi select work?

I am not sure of whether I am allowed to share access to my workspace due to client data

I figured it out! I was using "," as my delimiter instead of ";" 🙂 all set now!

Oh great! It's tough to tell sometimes what is wrong without us seeing it firsthand, but glad you were able to adjust the ;! Have a great rest of your day!
