I have one CSV which I update occasionally with over 70 fields. Some are incorrectly typed by AGOL as it only looks at the first 8 rows when typing a field. This means I have to manually change the field type every time I reload the CSV file.&nbsp; <!-- content transformation source ID: 00aE00000075Mrs --> </BODY></HTML> Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:58:39 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/adding-csv-files-to-agol-with-schema-ini-control/idc-p/964366#M4408 JonathanZaid 2014-08-05T21:58:39Z Re: Adding CSV files to AGOL with schema.ini control - Status changed to: Closed https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/adding-csv-files-to-agol-with-schema-ini-control/idc-p/1644786#M13097 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 17:58:03 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/adding-csv-files-to-agol-with-schema-ini-control/idc-p/1644786#M13097 ScottBall 2025-08-22T17:58:03Z
