Hey!

Does anyone have experience with importing multiple-checkbox data from a csv? I have found [this post,](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/import-data-to-checkbox-properties#:~:text=To%20add%20or%20append%20values,value%203%3B%20value%204).) but when I separate each value in the column (that corresponds to the multiple-checkbox property) by a semicolon, hubspot recognises all other columns as one, and each multiple-checkbox property as a column to be mapped.

Another way I tried (which their support told me) is by duplicating the rows as many times as multiple-checkbox values each row entry has. In that case however, instead of adding a new tick, the value for the multiple checkbox would just be updated.

I did create the multiple-checkbox property and predefine all possible values.

Does anyone have experience with this and can help me out? Any hint would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Cheers!

Happy Monday, @LKaczmarek1012!

Thank you for posting in our Community!

You are correct, When importing to a multiple checkbox property you need to separate the values with semi-colons rather than commas. As outlined in **[this knowledge base](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/crm-setup/import-data-to-checkbox-properties)** you shared above.

Do you want to create a new value instead of updating the checkboxes you currently have? I want to invite our top experts to this conversation @AdamLPW @franksteiner79 @louischausse any recommendations for @LKaczmarek1012?

Thank you,

Pam

Hi @LKaczmarek1012, any chance you can share a screenshot of the spreadsheet so I can get an idea of what you’re after. Feel free to remove any sensitive data.  
I can’t guarantee I’ll have the answers you’re after, but I can try 🙂
