Working on a multi-state tag with 527 states.
I wanted to edit these external to Crimson, so I made a few manually then exported to the unicode text file type. I edited the file to my liking and then imported it back into the tag. Now, all 526 states are errored with "= WAS" prefixed in the text field for every state. It doesn't seem to matter whether I edit the file with notpad, notepad++, or excel. I tried removing all special characters (double quotation marks seem to cause other quirks), but it didn't help.
The other thing that it doesn't like is leading zeros for the value. This was an easy fix, though, but having 527 errors in the text no matter what I have tried so far has me befuddled.
I really don't want to fix all these by hand.
How can I import states without errors?
