I'm going to import into multiple subforms.

I went through this: https://rolandd.com/support/ro-csvi/import-data-into-a-joomla-4-custom-fields-subform/likes

So for example:

Field: Program --> Main Subform
Fields:
- Date --> calendar field
- Sessions --> Subform Field

Field Sessions --> Subform with fields: Start Time, End Time, Session Title, Session Abstract, location, address map

I see this suggestion, but how would I do it with multiple subforms?

Hi Laura,
Patch file for importing nested subforms in new format is ready and is attached here.

You can
1. Load the attached patch file
2. Update available fields in RO CSVI
3. Run import in the below CSV format. Fields in the new format follow name as parentsubform_childsubform_fieldname. Multiple values are separated by |.

Try import with below sample CSV format and let me know on how that goes.
