CSV import notetype and separator ignored

Anki Help
1

Update: Just realized I made my CSV wrong; this report is invalid.

I have the exact same problem as the one linked below. Specifying #notetype:Basic doesn’t work: When I do Import, the Basic notetype is not the selected one. Likewise #separator:Comma doesn’t work: when in the import menu, the selected separator is Colon.

Anki 24.06.3

The reason it is ignored is because the line must be

#separator:Comma

not something like

separator:Comma,,,,,,,,

But you will get those commas if you have more than one column in your csv (and if it’s comma separated).

Seems to be a bug.

(tested with latest main build from source)

Thanks. This answer caused me to notice that I actually just messed up my CSV. No problem on the Anki side.

Glad it’s solved for you.

The bug exists anyways, so I created a bug report here:
