I would like to import events with multiple categories via CSV if possible.
I can already import events with one category and set several categories per event in the backend.

However, the import via CSV does not yet work.

The current syntax is as follows:




"CATEGORIES","SUMMARY","LOCATION","DESCRIPTION","CONTACT","X-EXTRAINFO","DTSTART","DTEND","TIMEZONE","RRULE"

"category1, category2","summary","location","desc","contact","extra infos","20180706T120000","20180706T170000","Europe/Berlin",""


What do I have to consider?
Hello,

Try removing the space. What happens when you try importing with a comma?

Many thanks
Tony

Thank you for your answer! Unfortunately I am still unsuccessful. individual categories can be imported without further ado. The combination unfortunately fails.



"category1", ... It's working.

"category2", ... It's working.

"category1,category2", ... It doesn't work. 

"category1, category2", ... It doesn't work.

"category1;category2", ... It doesn't work.

Thank you for your answer. This option is activated and I can assign several categories to an event in the event management. In the frontend I see these when I sort by categories

Ok, can you please provide your Import file and I'll run some tests locally.

Thank you! I attached the CSV

The import also does not work for individual categories if the option "Replace categories with the category selected above" is not activated.

Hello,

What version of JEvents are you using? I just successfully imported that event and it imported to both categories with JEvents Multi-Category Support enabled.
