Importing data, missing pictures and attachments

[ASW]

I try to import from a 3rd party db. In the .csv file are references to pictures and attachments as following:
“/Users/Andreas/Downloads/Home Inventory Export/Exported Receipts/CFED5A83-6DC9-4733-941F-85411195AE5C.jpg”

Assigning the folders for pictures and attachments during the import is working. The paths will appear in the Tap Form if I leave the field format as TEXT.
If I assign the correct field format for the import neither pictures nor attachments will be imported.
Any idea what’s wrong?

Can you edit the CSV file first and strip out everything before the filename?

If you do that, and put all of the photos into the same folder, on the Import Records screen you can choose a folder to import.

Then Tap Forms will look for the images with the names in the CSV file.

For example:

Inventory Item,Photo
MacBook Pro,CFED5A83-6DC9-4733-941F-85411195AE5C.jpg

Problem solved!
Many thanks, Brendan
