When doing an update CSV imports, if a column is included with a particular value blank, does the existing data remain in the field or with the CSV import override it with a blank value

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

When doing an update CSV import in NetSuite, if a column is included with a particular value blank, the existing data in the field will be overridden with a blank value. This is because NetSuite's CSV import process treats blank cells as an instruction to clear out the existing data in the field. However, you need to be careful with this feature. If you have the 'Overwrite Missing Fields' option checked under 'Advanced Options' during the import process, any fields that are not included in your CSV file will also be cleared out in NetSuite. This can potentially erase data that you did not intend to remove. So, if you want to clear out specific fields, you can include them in your CSV file with blank values. But if you want to keep the existing data in certain fields while updating others, make sure those fields are not included in your CSV file and that the 'Overwrite Missing Fields' option is unchecked. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
