    Hi,
    I want to import certain columns in my CSV-data set to both a tag and a metadata field. But when I check the box for Tags? in the CSV-import form, the column only gets imported as a tag, not as a metadata field.

    Anyone else has this problem? Or is it intentional behaviour?

    I think that's working as (currently) intended.

    As a workaround, you could duplicate the column in your CSV file.

    OK. The CSV plugin documentations states "and/or tags." That's why I thought it should be possible import to both places.

    I guess I have to duplicate my columns then, all 50 of them... Thank gods for Google Refine:)

    Hi, I have been able to import both: as an element as and tag, but I had to use a earlier version of the CSVImport plugin because there were some problems with the Java which didn´t pick up correctly the fields. Do some test with older versions to see if that help

    Thank you danimon!
    You are correct, I was able to get it to work using an older version of the plugin (1.3).

    So its a bug in the newer plugins then, or documentation should be updated?

    I've filed a ticket to fix this for the next version.

    Thanks for the info!
