Originally created by @candlerb on GitHub (Jan 30, 2017).

I would like to be able to import "comments" as part of bulk device import. Also device "status" (Active or Offline)

Related:

  • #568 - Bulk import custom fields
  • #655 - Convert CSV import to use headers

If #655 were implemented, then presumably it would be trivial to allow all fields of the device to be imported.

I've shied away from enabling the import/export of free-form comments because we may run into issues concerning line breaks and formatting. I'm sure it's workable, I just haven't had the time to test it.

We still need to devise a method for dealing with line breaks in comments.

The CSV format supports it by means of line breaks within quoted fields, even though such CSV files aren't amenable to normal line-oriented Unix tools like grep.

e.g. a cell with a line-break in Excel:

Exported as CSV:

$ cat Workbook1.csv
"Foo
Bar"

$ hexdump -C Workbook1.csv
00000000  22 46 6f 6f 0a 42 61 72  22                       |"Foo.Bar"|
00000009

Imported into Python:

>>> import csv
>>> for r in csv.reader(open('Workbook1.csv')): print repr(r)
...
['Foo\nBar']
>>>

I'm limiting the scope of this issue to the addition of the "status" field. We don't currently support the importation of comments for any models; that can be addressed separately in the future.
