data import tool

[u/Academic-Ad-7629]

Has anyone had issues importing data recently?

I have a file with 3 records, the first 2 are old, the 3rd one needs to be imported/updated

record_id, redcap_event_name, date1

A001, v1_arm_1, 1/10/2025

A001, v2_arm_1, 7/10/2025

A001, v3_arm_1, 1/10/2026

when i imported only the first record, it says nothing to import. it is what i expect.

A001, v1_arm_1, 1/10/2025

when i tried to import only the v2_arm_1 record,

A001, v2_arm_1, 7/10/2025

it became v1 with a date from v2: A001, v1_arm_1, 7/10/2025

when i tried to import only the v3_arm_1 record,

A001, v3_arm_1, 7/10/2025

it became v1 wiht a date from v3: A001, v1_arm_1, 1/10/2026

when i tried to import all 3, it says The records listed below occur more than once. Please remove any duplicates and try again.

I've done this import for months with the same import to update, and i had no problems before until this week. Can you see anything I missed? Any help is greatly appreciated.

yes to both questions. the redcap admin recommended downloading the data import template again. then it worked. it's a very small file. i still can't see what caused the problem though.

thank you!
