How to csv import values to a multi select field?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To import values to a multi-select field in NetSuite via CSV, you need to separate the values with a pipe character
|
. This is the default delimiter for multi-select fields in CSV imports. Here is an example of how you might format your CSV file:
Copy code
Item, Multi-Select Field
Item1, Value1|Value2|Value3
Item2, Value1|Value2
In this example,
Item1
has three values (
Value1
,
Value2
,
Value3
) for the multi-select field, and
Item2
has two values (
Value1
,
Value2
). If you prefer to use a different delimiter, such as a comma, you can change this in the advanced options during the import process. However, be careful with using a comma as it is the default delimiter for CSV files and might cause issues with the import. If you need to append values to a multi-select field during import, you might need to export all the existing records, add the new values in the appropriate format, and then re-import the updated CSV file. Please note that if you have a lot of different selections for one record, the values might be truncated when you export the data. In this case, you could try using a Formula (Text) and put the field name in as the formula. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
