3. Save database

Please share a scrubbed version of the csv file that doesn't work. I cannot replicate this.

Group is chosen from the Name column

Showing group names are now Root

The same file imported to 2.7.6 shows correct group names

Why are you using the same column for group and title? I see the problem, but this method of importing CSV will not scale at all beyond a couple entries.

[stevem6]

The CSV file exported from Roboform doesn't have a group field - using the name column for group and title works well in 2.7.6 even for a file with hundreds of entries.

[droidmonkey]

You want hundreds of groups?

[stevem6]

Not a problem as that's the default in Roboform.

Was there an option or feature request to import into a group? If not, then I suggest importing everything into the Root group of a new database, and then moving or copying the entries into the group or groups you want.

[stevem6]

I may be misunderstanding your suggestion, but 2.7.7 does put everything into the Root group of a new database. It would be a lot of work to then create lots of individual groups and move entries into them. 2.7.6, on the other hand, creates the individual groups automatically.

[michaelk83]

My suggestion is if you want a smaller number of groups. A separate group for every item isn't very useful IMO. Might as well just leave them all in the root group in that case.

Dang, simple programming error on my part. Fixed in #10575

Thanks!

#1832 (comment) is the closest I could find to importing into an existing group (just noting it for reference).

#1832 was completed with 2.7.7 import wizard.
