CSV import + data cleanup wizard
The problem
We have a table editor that is great for manual data creation and lots of ways to use that data, but importing tabular data is a different ballgame. We have support for copy / paste from Excel (using HTML tables in the background), but thats not perfect:
- Data can be lost if fields are not compatible
- Requires users to model the data before pasting it
- Difficult to use for large amounts of data
CSV importer
We should make a tool that:
- Imports a CSV file
- Recognizes column names
- Detects data types
- Shows a UI to make changes
- Walks over data
- Fixes issues / asks user for input on how to fix issues
