# Custom Fields Serialized array format

 * Hello,
 * I have a question about how to successfully set an import format for array variables
   in Custom Fields setting of WP All Import?
 * According documentation, there is no wide discussion about it. So if I setup 
   the Name of the CF and choose serialized value, then I load Auto-detect and copy
   one of the key and the value into another product import, that results in a critical
   error and shutdown of the webpage. I already tried any kind of format for a date
   value as well as this two in example, but without a progress. Please, can you
   provide the solution how correctly import this kind of values in a array form?
 * Example:
 * CF: Name: _wc_booking_availability
 * CF:Value:
 * Key 0
 * Value a:5:{s:4:”type”;s:6:”custom”;s:8:”bookable”;s:3:”yes”;s:8:”priority”;i:
   10;s:4:”from”;s:10:”2023-11-02″;s:2:”to”;s:10:”2023-11-10″;}
 * However, if I tried link it from the CSV and set the fix date value with the 
   Xpath instead, that does not work either.
 * a:5:{s:4:”type”;s:6:”custom”;s:8:”bookable”;s:3:”yes”;s:8:”priority”;i:10;s:4:”
   from”;s:10:”{date1[1]}“;s:2:”to”;s:10:”{date2[1]}”;}
