    Table 1. Supported Project Columns (Auto-extracted)
    Column Description
    short_description Project name/title
    description Detailed project description
    approved_start_date Project start date
    approved_end_date Project end date

    Table 2. Supported Project Task Columns (Auto-extracted)
    Column Extracted from/Default behavior
    short_description Task name: mandatory, extracted from document
    description Task details/deliverables. If only a name exists, a brief description is generated from context.
    start_date Task start date
    end_date Task end date
    duration Task duration (derived or explicit)
    work_start Work start date/time
    work_end Work end date/time

    Note:

    If a column value is not present in the excel document, it is handled internally and initialized with a valid default.
