}FormElementSubmission
Import form element submissions
Import form element submissions data from external sources in bulk.
Import Features:
- Bulk data import from structured formats (CSV, Excel, JSON)
- Validation and error reporting for imported data
- Support for both new submissions and updates to existing ones
- Flexible mapping between external data formats and internal form structure
Data Validation:
- Validates form element types and constraints
- Ensures data integrity and consistency
- Provides detailed error reports for failed imports
- Supports rollback mechanisms for failed batch operations
TIMESTAMP support:
- Accepts a
recordedAt(ortimestamp) column; required for TIMESTAMP elements. - Parses ISO 8601 (assumes UTC if timezone missing), validates that year matches the CSV
year, and derivesperiodUnitfrom the UTC month. - Upserts per (formSubmissionId/new_formSiteId, formElementId, recordedAt); duplicates by timestamp update the value; empty
valuewithrecordedAtdeletes that exact entry inreplacemode and is ignored inmergemode.
Import modes:
merge: updates values present in the file and leaves omitted values unchanged.replace: updates values present in the file and clears omitted values in the imported form/site/year scope.
Multi-form import:
- If the uploaded file contains a
formNamecolumn (as produced by the export whenincludeFormName=true), rows are routed to their respective forms by name. In this case,formIdin the request is ignored for those rows. - When
formNameis not present, the import behaves as single-form and uses the providedformId.
Example request (CSV import, trimmed):
{
"formId": "form-123",
"format": "csv",
"mode": "merge",
"fileData": "<base64-csv>"
}
Example CSV content:
siteName,year,key,periodUnit,value,recordedAt
plant-a,2024,water_usage,,120.5,2024-03-15T10:30:00Z
Example response (trimmed):
{
"success": true,
"message": "Imported",
"stats": { "created": 1, "updated": 0, "deleted": 0, "valuesDeleted": 0, "formSitesCreated": 0 }
}
This endpoint is essential for migrating data from legacy systems, bulk data entry operations, and automated data synchronization workflows.
