Re: Betr: Import of coordinates fails in v2.27(DHIS2)

 

Hello all.

I have yet to submit an issue regarding this. In my case it was impossible
to upload coordinates in CSV for event data. I tried with header, without
header, using square brackets for the coordinates, using quotation marks,
etc.

If you have a comma without quotation marks the parser will think the
second value belongs to the next column. If you have quotation marks it
will not interpret the value as type coordinate and the import will fail.

The only way I got around the problem was to import the data using XML.

It would be nice to know if you can't make it work. That way I'd have more
confidence submitting a ticket on JIRA.
