# Import column mapping survey

Find confusion when matching incoming data fields.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

## 1. Which column was hard to match?

Answer: ____________________

## 2. What example value would help?

Answer: ____________________

## 3. What validation feedback was unclear?

Answer: ____________________

## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. A hard-to-match column identifies ambiguity between the incoming heading and the destination field. Use synthetic examples rather than collecting a real dataset.
2. A useful example value identifies ambiguity about the expected field meaning or format during mapping. Provide synthetic, verified examples and validation guidance, without collecting real datasets or implying that correct mapping guarantees import success.
3. Unclear validation feedback identifies why a proposed mapping cannot be corrected confidently. Explain verified requirements without treating correct mapping as proof the import will succeed.

Interpretation caution: Use synthetic sample data in research.
