And by “using that as an example” I presume you mean we could use that as a template for scripting a custom import of our own? It looks like ning imports json, and we’re looking to import from a csv file. I should probably be more clear - we’re hoping to import several thousand users and send them an invite to our new discourse environment. When we import those users, we’d like to add some custom field data to their user profiles. Is the ning importer still the best option to accomplish this? Or, alternately, is there a better means to do it? Thanks again --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-user-fields-and-csv-import/105494)._
