Importing/Append Channels

[IU8OGE]

I am trying to APPEND to my channel list using CPS verision 2010.10.20 Import/Append function but get Excepiotn and fail to import

Attached the channels csv exported from the official code plug on this forum

p.s Unable to attach file too large 82kb

ok in the meantime I make another test based on the suspect che the cannels in the code plug CPS IU5MGQ - 20200218 V2.3beta2.g77 "from this site"

was not compatible with this release of CPS

SO I exported my actual channels, and than tried to import/append but nothing failed again with the some errore
so the problem is in the append function and not in the csv compatibility

I ran into this same issue a couple of days ago.
The problem seems to have started recently when the behavior of the "TG List" and "Contact" settings in the channel settings menu was changed.

A work-a-round is to edit the CSV file and change all of the "N/A" entries under the "Contact" and "Contact Id" columns to "None", without the quotes of course, and then import it. Worked for me anyways.
