Importing Text: Result ends up longer than import

[andrewtye]

This is a pretty bizarre one... am importing in a transactional level data set which has a unique code for my list - model best practice fans.

Then as I load into one of the properties of the module some of the information transforms from a four digit character to the same four digits but with FIVE leading zeros. I've removed and then reloaded all to no avail - even reimporting the data source. And here's the thing, there are other four digit entries and this doesn't happen, loads up perfectly.

Any thoughts, any one?

Hi Andrew,

Any particular reason you are importing into a text formatted line item and not a number formatted line item since the property is digits anyway?

Fair question... because other entries have letters in them.
