 * Hi Peter
 * A question re CSV import – is there any way or logic that an “auto map” button
   could be created on the CSV mapping screen. I regularly import CSV files from
   excel that people mess with (yes, I know…) , they love to add unrelated columns,
   reorder them etc – but I can at least count on the column heading name being 
   the same and to match the column name in the database.
 * My CSV and database seem to change regularly – what would be great would be the
   ability to import a CSV at the mapping screen, press a button to automatically
   tie up the perfect (case insensitive?) matches of field header name in the CSV
   file to table column name – leaving just the stragglers left in the “table” area
   of the CSV import for review and either manual mapping or ignoring.
 * Your thoughts are appreciated
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@snyggapa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/snyggapa/),
 * Tomorrow I’ll go on holiday. After my holiday the CSV import is subject to change.
   A new premium feature will be added to allow updates from a CSV file. Let me 
   see if I can add auto mapping as well. This will be a “as good as it gets” mapping.
   It all depends on the names written to the CSV file.
 * Thank you for your change request 😊
