Hello,
We are using CSV metadata import to update some metadata objects in more
convenient and collective manner. For example, org unit names.
However, we noticed when trying to update org unit names with CSV
import, that columns for which we omit values like coordinates are
overwritten in the database with an empty string.
The documentation
(https://docs.dhis2.org/2.29/en/developer/html/webapi_csv_metadata_import.html)
says that values for not required columns can be omitted, but it is not
clear what happens in the case of updates. Is overwriting the omitted
columns with whatever is found in csv (even an empty string) is an
intended behavior? What I would expect is that the omitted columns are
left untouched while those for which new values are provided will be
updated.
Any clarification of this, or proposal to avoid clearing omitted columns
when doing metadata update through CSV import?
Thank you!
Best,
Petar
