Why does the values mapping not work for me?

Question:

I'm attempting to import a CSV file using the following configuration:

{
 "objects": [
   {
      "query": "SELECT Id, Name FROM Contact",
      "operation": "Insert",
      "externalId": "Name",
      "useValuesMapping" : true
    }
 ]
}

I have created a ValueMapping.csv file and enabled the feature with the useValuesMapping=true parameter, but it doesn't seem to work. What could be the issue?

Answer:

Use useValuesMapping=true for value mapping in the current engine.

useCSVValuesMapping is a legacy flag from older configurations and should be replaced with useValuesMapping.

For your CSV import case, use:

{
 "objects": [
   {
      "query": "SELECT Id, Name FROM Contact",
      "operation": "Insert",
      "externalId": "Name",
      "useValuesMapping" : true
    }
 ]
}
