Import ACF field

@dorl1986,

I am not an ACF user so I am not sure how the date are stored there. But you have to store the dates in the CSV, the same that ACF do.

I have read in ACF documentation (https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/date-time-picker/) and it seems that the correct format for dates is the next one: YYYY-MM-DD HH:II:SS

Thanks for the reply.
I checked that ACF are storing the data as YYYYMMDD, as can be seen here https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/update_field-date-field-not-displaying-date-on-the-admin-front-end/.
But the issue does occur on date fields alone.
As I noted on the original question the issue also repeats on a regular text field where it imports the text Apple (for example) as [“Apple”]. It seems as it is treating it as an array with one item in it instead of a regular string.

But how are you uploading the CSV? I am not sure about what’s the problem.

I have exactly a similar problem as this

@ecezekwe,

Have you asked to ACF?

I am not an ACF user so no sure about what’s happening there.

This look to me to be a small problem. I am prepared to work with you to fix it. This problem must have started when you added the capability to detect serialised fields.

@ecezekwe,

How are you going to help us?
