    Importing records from CSV: is there any way to prevent fields present in the CSV from importing into TF?

    The only alternative I can think of is to delete them from the CSV.

    Would be convenient to have an Import Template where you can determine ahead of time which fields to import and all others are ignored.

    Nope. Sorry. There’s only a way of excluding fields from EXPORT, but not from IMPORT. You’ll have to delete them from the CSV file. Or delete them from Tap Forms after the import.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    To remove undesired rows I will filter the table and then copy the remaining rows to another sheet.
    To remove undesired columns I will setup a third sheet to reference only the relevant columns from the second sheet.
    Then I will create the CSV from the third sheet
