CSVs delete row and column names -- Feature Request/Bug

pHghost

Hey everyone! If you've worked with tables, you know how amazing they are and all the things they enable you to do! If you haven't worked with them yet, you should do so, like, right now, ha!

BUT: Currently, importing data from a CSV deletes row and column names, which will completely break a game if it refers to those names in the logic.

While CSV export and import is an awesome thing to have, helping share data quickly between tables and enabling power-editing of table data in spreadsheet software, this huge omission makes the CSV functionality virtually useless.

Please vote for this very important fix:

Didn't this get fixed in the latest release candidate?

No, I will fix this after we release the iOS 8 fix (save your votes). I have a bunch of small fixes and features that we could not fix into the 0.12 release and we will be doing a small release some time soon (think weeks time frame) after the 0.12 release to fix these bugs.

@Braydon_SFX, @pHghost‌ , yep, is fixed in RC 0.12.

Just tested it again.

@BlackCloakGS‌ -- Thanks! Great to know it is being looked into! Save your votes everyone!

@Hopscotch‌, @Braydon_SFX‌ -- for the sake of clarity: the latest RC fixed a general (and more problematic) CSV bug, where importing a CSV would result in a completely empty table with one column and no rows. Row and column names still get deleted in 12.2

Ah, referencing is ok, but importing column names is broken.

pHghost

Yup, referencing is OK, I'm using that thoroughly and it led to discovering this, as I have several large tables I need to manage.
