[Fatal Bug] Bulk upload by CSV corrupts the display in preview mode.

in First-time course creation

I am creating a course of practice tests.
When I bulk upload questions as CSV, I get the following two fatal bugs in preview mode.

1) All characters become Bold.
2) Line breaks are disabled.

To fix these problems, you need to open each issue and retype the characters, which is very time-consuming.

I can't share screenshots here for content reasons, but I'm ready to show you the detailed screenshot of the probem and also the CSV file.

If there is any way to work around this bug, please let me know.

    Seems like a very old issue that still hasn't been resolved I have 500 questions to batch upload; having no linebreaks and everything displayed in Bold
    would require some serious editing that I am not prepared to do.
    When can we expect a fix for this?

    Hi,

    Problems with line breaks in Ascii files (like .csv) is usually because of the different interpretations of line breaks between Windows systems on the one hand, and Linux/Mac systems on the other.

    Try re-creating the .csv on Mac if you use Windows, or vice versa, or try to use some tool in order to convert the \n line breaks to \r\n.

    Best regards,

    dr Jonas Birch
