Event data with a multiple athlete field can be imported into the system

You can export out and import in data into the system even there is a multiple athlete field in the event form. Previously, this caused an issue which has since been resolved. Additionally, the import should only create one group entry (e.g. not a group entry of a group entry).

To export out data for an Event Form run a report on the Reports Page and select Excel

Map the date and data as you would for any data import. Ensure the multiple athlete field IS mapped across correctly in this phase (e.g. the field containing the list of athletes is mapped to the field in the system that identifies this)

The confirmation message will say that only 2 records were imported. This is because the system uses the FIRST record and then applies it to all athletes listed. This avoids duplicates and enables one single entry to then be applied to all athletes in the multiple athlete field

Once a report is run, the data appears, and the First entry for each date have applied to the athletes in the multiple athlete list.

N.B. The system is essentially enabling exports and imports without having to manipulate the spreadsheet and delete extra rows of data. User can just import in two records with all of the names completed in the multiple athlete field (as shown here)
