Which csv import formats are allowed?

Michael M1

I have a csv file from another application that is apparently in utf-8-bom format. 

One of the fields will not import for some reason.

When I convert to utf-8 and specify the data source property as 'charset=utf-8' it works just fine.

Apparently I cannot change that to utf-8-bom as servicenow did not recognize it.

What formats are allowed for Import Charset??

From Import Set Properties

glide.import.csv.charsetThe charset of the CSV file to import. Valid values are UTF-8 and WINDOWS-1252. You may need to use UTF-8 formatting when importing special characters.
  • Type: String
  • Default value: WINDOWS-1252
