When importing, the notes do not pass

GanttProject Desktop Support
#1

Hello.
I have an excel file properly configured, but when I import the file, the ‘notes’ field is not imported, remaining blank in the GanttProject.
Steps I’ve already done:

  1. I exported an xls from ganttproject and manually filled in the notes column and then imported it again and everything went well;
  2. I exported an xls and then copied the notes from another file, using “paste values ​​only”, and the notes were no longer imported.
  3. I exported an xls and then copied the notes from another file, leaving the first line unchanged, then copied the formatting of the first line to the others and I was able to import the notes.
    (note: the file extension is always the same = office97-2003 xls)
    What could be happening?
    Thanks for the help.

Please share the XLS file in question (one where the notes can’t be imported from)

Sure.
A processar: export.xls…
export.zip (7.9 KB)

Thank you

EDIT: The same file saved as CSV UTF8, imports perfectly.

Thanks for the report and the sample file. I have filed a new issue to the tracker:

It is likely to be fixed in the next maintenance update.
