For many people who import data into Hubspot frequently, it can be frustrating to re-map properties and set the appropriate ‘do not overwrite’ values against each property every time. If we could create a template for frequent imports of the same sort/data, this would save time and streamline the process further. This would mean as well as Hubspot trying to remember which columns were mapped to which property (which works about 50% for us currently) it would remember all of them and their ‘do not overwrite’ tickbox selected as yes/no as well. We have many workflows that are reliant on the imported data being accurate and overridden/not overridden and this would save potential issues that come up now and again due to human error. ---

Hi there! Alex on the import product team here. We currently have functionality that allows you to “Repeat a Past import.” This is documented [here](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/import-and-export/repeat-a-past-import). In addition to saving your mappings, it also saves if you’ve selected “Do Not Overwrite existing values” on any of your columns. If you’re frequently importing similar files, you can use this feature to ensure consistency across these imports. I’m going to mark this as delivered, but please reply and let me know if the repeat import functionality isn’t providing you with the functionality you’re hoping for out of an import template! PS: I hear you on our auto-mapping getting it right only ~50% of the time -- that’s frustrating!! We’re currently working on making this much, much better. Stay tuned! ---
