Importing, Groups, and 1.6.12

[Richard Jeong]

I'm having trouble importing groups in 1.6.12.  I checked out the help file on (C:\Program Files\kiwanja.net\FrontlineSMS_1.6.12\help\filemenu.htm) and see Groups listed in the CSV formatting.  Indeed if you export the contacts the groups show up.  If you delete a contact then import that same file it doesn't tag the new contact with a group.  

I'm running the windows version of 1.6.12 on an XP laptop (with a ST860 EDGE MODEM on the Leo network).

This is an screenshot of the groups I've got going.  I've also attached a anonomyized/randomized version of the file I'm importing.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks, Rich

We're always very happy to get feedback from the field like this. I think the best place for this would be Trac, and Morgan/Alex can work through it there and pick up any duplicates. (Morgan - feel free to say if this isn't want you want Rich to do!).

The software remains a work in progress and we're always constantly striving to improve it, so thanks in advance for any help, advice or pointers you can provide.

Hello everyone,

yes, as Ken said, we have a lot going on, and we're trying to fix problems and add new features as quickly as possible.
This feature is indeed in our list (and may not appear in trac BTW), so I hope we'll have time to work on it very soon.

About your features requests/questions, that would be great indeed if you could post them on trac, and we'll clean if there's duplicate. Let's keep this thread for contacts import :-)

Please bear with us as we're trying to make more and more things happen, and I hope we'll soon have every requests covered \o/

Best regards,
Morgan

Hello,

Is the Import Contacts: Groups an issue in later versions (than 1.6.12)?

Thanks,
Ian

Hello Ian,

we fixed this issue, and will include this in the next release of FrontlineSMS: 1.6.15.
Check the blog and website to be aware of this release :-)

Best,
