Hello, Im in the process of testing and for convinience i want to load files through the UI as a CSV Import. Now while doing so i get the same error consistenly _“Failed to upload the selected CSV: error in csv.from(): failed to read metadata: failed to read annotations: wrong number of fields”_ ```auto #group,false,false,true,true,false,false,false,false,false #datatype,string,dateTime:RFC3339,string,double,double,double,double #default,candlestick,,,,,,, _measurement,_time,_field,open,high,low,close,_value ,2023-01-01T09:30:00.000Z,AAPL,150.0,152.0,149.5,151.0,100000 ,2023-01-02T16:00:00.000Z,AAPL,151.0,153.0,150.5,152.5,120000 ,2023-01-03T09:30:00.000Z,AAPL,2700.0,2720.0,2690.0,2710.0,80000 ,2023-01-04T16:00:00.000Z,AAPL,2710.0,2730.0,2705.0,2725.0,85000 ``` the above is a sample data that i try to use, while on the other hand i can upload this sample from the documentation: ```auto #group,false,false,true,true,false,false,true,true,true,true #datatype,string,long,dateTime:RFC3339,dateTime:RFC3339,dateTime:RFC3339,double,string,string,string,string #default,mean,,,,,,,,, ,result,table,_start,_stop,_time,_value,_field,_measurement,host,region ,,0,2022-12-31T05:41:24Z,2023-01-31T05:41:24.001Z,2023-01-01T00:52:00Z,15.43,mem,m,A,east ,,1,2022-12-31T05:41:24Z,2023-01-31T05:41:24.001Z,2023-01-01T00:52:00Z,59.25,mem,m,B,east ,,2,2022-12-31T05:41:24Z,2023-01-31T05:41:24.001Z,2023-01-01T00:52:00Z,52.62,mem,m,C,east ``` to me at least it does not look like i’m missing something and the number of fields also seem to match. I can load it via the cli or endpoints, but it bothers me that i could not from the UI, can someone guide me on what i am missing? Thank you! ---

This worked for me: ```auto csvData= " #group,false,false,true,true,false,false,false,false,false,false #datatype,string,long,string,dateTime:RFC3339,string,double,double,double,double,double #default,candlestick,,,,,,,,, ,result,table,_measurement,_time,_field,open,high,low,close,_value ,,0,m,2023-01-01T09:30:00.000Z,AAPL,150.0,152.0,149.5,151.0,100000 ,,0,m,2023-01-02T16:00:00.000Z,AAPL,151.0,153.0,150.5,152.5,120000 ,,0,m,2023-01-03T09:30:00.000Z,AAPL,2700.0,2720.0,2690.0,2710.0,80000 ,,0,m,2023-01-04T16:00:00.000Z,AAPL,2710.0,2730.0,2705.0,2725.0,85000" csv.from(csv: csvData) ``` with flux ---

@Anaisdg yes that seems to work after adding, result, table headers to the csv file, i could not find in the referenced documentation above that those are required for the manual upload through the UI ---

@tome92 they’re always required for annotated csv. Glad it works now 🙂
