SIMS Bulk Import into UDFs with Dropdowns/Lookups

[eean]

Hi,

Does SIMS bulk import work for UDFs with drop downs? I can see that the option is there to select lookups, however there is nothing to select.

 

We would love it if this feature were possible as currently our admin staff need to make 5 x 600 UDF changes, x 3 times a year!

 

Many thanks for creating this tool. The ease of importing student email addresses has really improved communication in the school.

Lookups aren't supported at the moment. Pretty sure SalamanderSoft can do it, assuming you've got a pot of money

Thank you for making SIMS Bulk Update Import work with Dropdown UDFS. It took under an hour to update 1500 records - it usually takes 2 people 3 days!

 

If Bulk Import sees an empty value on the spreadsheet it skips it (which I can see is useful). But, is it possible to have it clear a value from a UDF?

 

Thanks again for creating this excellent tool.
