Hi I am having trouble importing my csv into the importer

I have created a test importer and I cant work out what im doing wrong here
I keep getting the error – The following errors have occurred:

The column titled event_name is invalid for importing. It must be be in the format of ‘Nice Name[model_field_name]’ in row event_name,,start_date,end_date,ls_active,registration_start,registration_end

I have included a google drive link for you to see my example ( you are able to edit this)
csv.

If you can please help that would be great.

Hi Lucey,

That CSV looks like it is from EE3.

If you create an Event within EE4 to use as a template, setup the event how you need them all to be (multiple datetimes, tickets etc)

Then export that event using EE4 you will see the EE4 CSV file.

As mentioned in this thread:

https://eventespresso.com/topic/import-event-and-multiple-event-registration-ee4/

The relationships set up within EE4 events mean that the CSV is much more complicated than EE3.

You’ll need to use an EE4 even as a template for your ‘importer file’.
