How do I import a list field?

I have a table that contains a "list" field (of users).  I attempted to import records into this table via the Excel template and ran into a problem.  While most fields of the table imported without issue, the list field was left blank.  To keep it simple, the Excel sheet only contain the name of 1 user for this list field. 

Anyone tried doing an "easy import" of a list field with success?  Any pointers?

Hi,

I would check the Import Set log file, when you do the import its a number like Isetxxxx.

Click on the import set Rows tab and see if you are using a Transform Map.

If you have a map check that field is mapped correctly.

That is what I would recommend....Thanks...Gary

@Gary, my original question was pertaining specifically to "easy import", so there wouldn't be any Import Set log involved.

 

@Shweta, thanks for the link.  If the "Easy Import" doesn't handle list fields, I'm going to go with doing it with an Import Set.  I was hoping to just do it quickly with the Easy Import method.

Does the column contain sys_id or display value of the users?
