Overview

Adds the ability to import tasks from CSV files into WorkLenz projects. Users can upload a CSV, have columns automatically matched to WorkLenz fields, review a data preview, and import tasks — all through a guided wizard.


Backend Changes

New: csv-parser-strategies.ts

  • RFC 4180 compliant CSV tokenizer that handles quoted fields, escaped quotes (""), multiline cells, and CRLF/LF line endings
  • Auto-delimiter detection for comma, semicolon, and tab-separated files
  • 5 date format parsers: ISO 8601, US (MM/DD/YYYY), EU (DD/MM/YYYY), natural language (21 Aug 2026), and Unix timestamps
  • Binary file detection to reject accidental PDF/PNG/ZIP uploads
  • Header auto-mapping engine with 40+ synonyms covering exports from Jira, Asana, Monday.com, and Trello

Modified: csv-provider.ts

  • Replaced inline CSV parsing with the new RFC 4180 tokenizer
  • Added safety limits: 10 MB max file size, 5,000 row cap per import
  • Integrated auto-mapping so fields like "Assigned To", "Deadline", "Subject" are recognized automatically
  • Dates are now parsed and normalized to ISO format before storage

Modified: imports-service.ts

  • Expanded field alias dictionary with synonyms for task name, description, status, assignee, priority, dates, estimation, and labels

Modified: imports-controller.ts

  • Added CSV-specific auto-field matching on the autoFields endpoint
  • Added input validation (size, binary check) on the ingest endpoint

New: csv-parser.test.ts

  • 47 unit tests covering all parsing, detection, and mapping logic
  • 96% statement coverage, 100% function/line coverage

Frontend Changes

Modified: project-view-header.tsx

  • Added "Import from CSV" option to the project dropdown menu
  • Auto-refreshes task list after a successful import

Modified: ProjectImportModal.tsx

  • Added defaultSource prop to open directly on the CSV tab

Modified: CsvSetupStepsContent.tsx

  • Added a "Download sample CSV template" link that generates a ready-to-use sample file

Modified: CsvMappingStepsContent.tsx

  • Added green ✓ Auto badge next to columns that were automatically matched
  • Added a warning banner when no column is mapped to "Task Name"

Modified: CsvReviewStepContent.tsx

  • Added a data preview table showing the first 5 rows with mapped column headers
  • Shows a summary banner: "X tasks ready to import with Y mapped fields"

Modified: settings-constants.ts

  • Registered "Import & Export" in the Settings sidebar under System & Integrations

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
  * Added CSV task importing from project task menus and the Import & Export settings page.
  * CSV columns can be automatically matched to task fields, with support for common field-name variations and date formats.
  * Review imports with a preview of task data, mapping summaries, and a downloadable JSON file of import settings.
* **Improvements**
  * Added checks for empty, oversized, or invalid CSV files, and clearer guidance when no task-name column is mapped.
  * CSV imports now recognize common delimiters and handle quoted fields and leading byte-order marks.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds CSV parsing, validation, and field mapping to task imports. It also adds project and settings entry points, mapping feedback, a review preview, and configuration download.

Changes: CSV task import

Layer / File(s) Summary
CSV parsing and field mapping
worklenz-backend/src/services/import-providers/csv-parser-strategies.ts, worklenz-backend/src/services/imports/field-mapping.ts, worklenz-backend/src/__tests__/csv-parser.test.ts, README.md
Adds date parsing, delimiter detection, tokenization, binary checks, limits, and automatic header mapping. Adds field aliases, parser tests, and CSV import documentation.
Backend CSV ingestion and task mapping
worklenz-backend/src/controllers/imports-controller.ts, worklenz-backend/src/services/import-providers/csv-provider.ts
Validates CSV uploads, creates mappings from staged headers, and maps parsed rows to task fields. The provider parses mapped dates to ISO strings when possible and retains unparseable values.
Frontend import entry points
worklenz-frontend/src/lib/settings/settings-constants.ts, worklenz-frontend/src/pages/projects/projectView/ProjectImportModal.tsx, worklenz-frontend/src/pages/projects/projectView/project-view-header.tsx
Adds an admin-only Import & Export settings entry and a project-header CSV import action. The modal accepts a default source, and closing it refreshes project tasks when a project ID exists.
CSV mapping and review
worklenz-frontend/src/pages/settings/import-export/import-source-modal/components/CsvMappingStepsContent.tsx, worklenz-frontend/src/pages/settings/import-export/import-source-modal/components/CsvReviewStepContent.tsx
Adds a warning when no task-name field is mapped, indicators for recognized automatic mappings, a bounded row preview, and a JSON configuration download.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Run CSV validation for every CSV job.

The body.csvText condition is false for "". An empty CSV request bypasses these checks, reaches generic ingestion, and can finish as a ready import with no staged tasks. Branch on job.flow_type === "csv" first, then validate body.csvText.

Preserve CSV field whitespace.

field.trim() removes leading and trailing whitespace from every cell. This changes valid quoted values such as " Important note " before task staging. Preserve token values in tokenizeCsv. Normalize headers separately where required.

Proposed fix
-      current.push(field.trim());
+      current.push(field);
...
-        current.push(field.trim());

Reject empty header cells before indexing rows.

filter(Boolean) removes empty header cells but does not remove the matching data cells. For Task Name,,Status, the third data value is then assigned to no header and the second value is incorrectly assigned to Status. Reject files with empty headers, or retain every header position.

Do not parse ambiguous dates with the default strategy order.

parseDate tries UsDateStrategy before EuDateStrategy. A value such as 01/06/2026 is always stored as January 6, even when the CSV uses EU dates for June 1. Detect one date strategy per mapped date column, or require an explicit format for ambiguous values.

Pass the selected project as the CSV import target.

ProjectImportModal has no target-project input. The downstream modal creates a new import job without targetProjectId. Therefore, “Import from CSV” starts the new-project flow instead of importing into the open project.

Reviewed c027c30. This CSV-import PR currently includes 4,574 changed files and has merge conflicts. Its latest commit also deletes 100+ files unrelated to CSV import, including client portal services/settings, subscription utilities, and Slack validators. Please restore the unrelated application code and rebase/cherry-pick just the import implementation onto the current target branch, then run the import validation/preview and build/security checks. The current PR cannot be approved as a safe CSV-import change with these unrelated removals and unresolved integration conflicts.

Hi @chamikaJ,

Thank you for the review. I have resolved all the issues:

  1. Restored Unrelated Code & Rebased:

    • Rebased cleanly onto the latest target branch (main).
    • Removed the erroneous merge commit (c027c30a); all 100+ unrelated files (client portal, billing, subscription utilities, Slack validators) are restored and excluded from the diff.
    • The PR now contains only 11 files strictly related to the CSV import implementation (1,164 insertions, 69 deletions).
  2. Integration & Conflict Resolution:

    • Integrated the expanded field aliases into the newly refactored worklenz-backend/src/services/imports/field-mapping.ts.
    • All merge conflicts have been resolved.
  3. Security & CodeQL Compliance:

    • Bounded the tokenizeCsv scan loop using Math.min(text.length, MAX_CSV_SIZE_BYTES) (10 MB cap) to ensure compliance with CodeQL loop-bound injection rules.
    • Preserved file size, row count (5,000 max), and binary content signature checks.
  4. Verification:

    • Backend Tests: All 47 unit tests passed (npm test -- --testPathPattern="src/__tests__/csv-parser.test.ts").
    • Backend Build: npm run compile:prod completed with 0 errors.
    • Frontend Build: npm run build completed with 0 errors.

Please let me know if any further adjustments are needed!

262-296: Preserve CSV field whitespace.

field.trim() still removes leading and trailing whitespace from every cell, including quoted cells. Trim headers separately. Keep cell values unchanged.

worklenz-backend/src/controllers/imports-controller.ts: 2

650-653: Run CSV validation for every CSV job.

The outer condition job.flow_type === "csv" && body.csvText is false when csvText is "". An empty request therefore never reaches the !csvText.trim() check. It goes to generic ingestion instead.


510-539: LGTM!

worklenz-backend/src/services/import-providers/csv-provider.ts: 3

92-100: Parse ambiguous dates with one strategy per column.

parseDate tries UsDateStrategy before EuDateStrategy. A value such as 01/06/2026 is therefore always read as January 6. Use detectDateStrategy once for each mapped date column.


4-11: LGTM!


71-74: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration

Saved mappings are applied during commit.

ImportsService.commit calls mapRawToTaskFields(task.raw, activeFieldMappings) before creating each task. A mapping such as Work Title → key therefore patches the final task title from the raw CSV value. The proposed CsvProvider.ingest change is not required for the import result.

worklenz-frontend/src/pages/projects/projectView/ProjectImportModal.tsx: 1

3-25: Duplicate of an earlier review comment.

The modal still gets no target project ID. "Import from CSV" does not import into the open project. The earlier comment already covers this finding.

Enforce the CSV limit before the global JSON parser buffers the request.

express.json uses a global 50mb limit before the imports routes run. An ingest request larger than MAX_CSV_SIZE_BYTES can therefore be fully buffered before ImportsController.ingest rejects it. Add a request-size guard or parser before this global parser for both imports mounts. Size it for a 10 MB CSV plus JSON encoding overhead. Keep the controller check as defense in depth.

Parse date-only ISO values in local time, like the US and EU strategies.

new Date("2026-03-15") is parsed as UTC midnight. UsDateStrategy and EuDateStrategy build new Date(year, month - 1, day) in server-local time. If the server does not run in UTC, one column can give different toISOString() days depending on the format. A date-only ISO value can then move one day in the UI. When the value has no time part, build the date from its year, month and day.

Proposed fix
   parse(value: string): Date | null {
-    const d = new Date(value.trim());
+    const v = value.trim();
+    const dateOnly = /^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})$/.exec(v);
+    const d = dateOnly
+      ? new Date(+dateOnly[1], +dateOnly[2] - 1, +dateOnly[3])
+      : new Date(v);
+    if (dateOnly && d.getMonth() !== +dateOnly[2] - 1) return null;
     return isValidDate(d) ? d : null;
   }

Based on learnings: "When parsing a date-only string (e.g. "YYYY-MM-DD") ... avoid new Date(dateString) directly since it is parsed as UTC midnight."

Treat mid-field inch marks as literal characters.

tokenizeCsv enters quote mode for any unescaped ". For Monitor 27" wide,Done\nNext task,Todo, it can ignore the later comma and newline and merge the remaining input into one field. countDelimiterOccurrences also undercounts delimiters on affected lines.

The input is not strictly RFC 4180-valid, but the importer does not reject it. It should not silently merge accepted upload data. Preserve the existing tolerance for leading whitespace before a quoted field.

Apply the same rule in countDelimiterOccurrences. Track the start of each field after the line start or delimiter, allow leading whitespace, and only enter quote mode before the first non-whitespace field character. Add tests for tokenization and delimiter detection with a value such as 27" monitor.

Keep provider custom fields separate from CSV aliases.

normalizeTargetField is shared by all import providers. An included Asana custom field named Item or Column can be returned unchanged by guessTargetField, then normalize to key or status. mapRawToTaskFields writes those values to the standard task title or status, so the custom field can be lost or overwrite another source mapped to the same standard field.

Other names such as Hours, Points, Severity, Level, Tags, or Category are redirected to canonical custom-column keys instead of preserving their original custom-field keys. This can merge them with an existing canonical custom column.

Keep these synonyms in the CSV auto-mapping rules, where they map directly to canonical targets, instead of adding them to the global TARGET_FIELD_ALIASES.

Guard the final import action when Task Name is unmapped.

The mapping-step guard can be bypassed after the user reaches Review. furthestCompletedStep remains high when the user goes back, so the stepper can return to Review after the user disables the only included Task Name mapping. The Finish button then submits the import without checking the mapping.

The backend does not reject that row. When no title is mapped, the commit path can create a task named Untitled task.

                       integrationType === 'csv' &&

Update the Finish-button guard so the final import action is unavailable when no
included column in fieldMappings maps to “key” (Task Name), even after
navigating back to Review; preserve the existing CSV text and space-name checks.

Do not label manual mappings as automatic.

The badge checks only whether the selected target is recognized. A manual selection therefore displays ✓ Auto, even when no automatic match occurred. Rename the badge to Mapped and use the existing localized key.

Pass includeInImport={includeInImport} from ImportStepContent, use mappedEntries.slice(0, 6) for both preview iterations, and render the “ready to import” banner only when hasTaskNameMapping is true.

CsvMappingStepsContent only renders a warning when Task Name is unmapped. It does not block the review step. The review component currently renders the ready banner whenever rows exist, so it can display “ready” without an included key mapping.

The final import already filters excluded columns. This is a minor review-state inconsistency and misleading readiness message; it does not cause the excluded columns to be imported.
