KickStart - Adding Custom Attribute Data

Hi: Let's say I need to add/modify data for a custom attribute for a issue. I have a custom attribute called "Widget" that is a number. How do I export the data in WorkFront in such a way that I can update the "Widget" attribute and then upload that data, so that WorkFront issues are updated? I haven't figured out how to use a Kickstart to export custom data or import it. Does anyone have experience with Kickstart exporting/transformation/importing to update with regard to custom attributes? Thanks a bunch!

Hey Eric, Kick-starts are import only, they cannot update an object. However, what you *can* do is remove a custom form (category) from an issue, and re-add it via a kick-start, with the appropriate data. Custom fields are always referenced in reports, views, filters, and kick-starts with the DE: designation. Hopefully you got this working. Our consulting team is pretty good with Kick-starts, Jason Webre and Tony Messam specifically come to my mind (granted I work with them both on Tier 1 4+ years ago, so I know them well). Michael, I would ask you to contact our Support team via our Customer Care team, and upload your file to the support ticket for us to review. If needed, our Tier 1 team will work with one of our support folks that know kick-starts. Usually that error means that the first row has something in it that doesn't align with the data from that column, a special character seems to be a common issue.

Hi Michael, if you have a field where the answer to the field is A and B (two choices), then on the first sheet in your spreadsheet, that cell should say: A | B and on the second sheet you should have the following (4 columns, 2 rows): name value description defaultValue CUSTOMDATADELIMITER Custom Data Delimiter \| -skye
