Can marker descriptions be imported?

    I am trying to create a map with nearly 200 markers from a CSV file. This CSV file is frequently updated and used elsewhere within my organization, so I will need a way to regularly update this map whenever the source data is updated.

    For this reason, I need to be able to import a map containing markers with descriptions using WP Mapbox GL. I’ve tried various ways to do this, including adding a “Description” field to the CSV data, and even exporting the CSV to GeoJSON with a “Description” field.

    But, no matter what I do, my WP Mapbox GL markers come up with blank markers that have “Description” for Description. Can somebody help here? If this is impossible to do with WP Mapbox GL, can somebody suggest a way I can do this directly with Mapbox? Any ideas welcome – I’m stumped. Thanks.

    I’m following up my own message to ask: is there anybody out there who can help with this? I’m stuck on this problem and unable to complete an urgent deliverable. Any kind of answer would help.

    Hey there — I’m sorry but the CSV import isn’t in fully working order ?? Unfortunately I am not able to get in to fix this kind of thing right now. I would recommend converting the csv to a geoJSON and loading up a custom map with mapbox gl js, or perhaps trying the geoJSON importer, although I am not 100% on if that is working as expected either. My apologies
