Bug: Problems with duplicate column names

    Hi!

    I found there is a problem if column labels are not unique. I have a post type that has many ACF fields. In export I had two columns with label <address> routed to different ACF fields. This caused problems as the first <address> field was never populated by data even though there is data for that field. To make sure this is only due to label names I changed the other label as <address_2> and the data was populated correctly.

    To recreate this problem:
    – Make to columns with exact same label
    – Preview row or export to see the results

    I can avoid this problem by naming all the labels with unique names but I thought this was something you should know about.

    Hi!

    I can wait for the next version. The quick fix was to rename the columns to be unique in the only occasion I had this problem.

    I’ll mark this one resolved already because the solution is coming and there is a work-around for now.

    Thanks!
