I have 2 projects, A and B.
I exported CMS from project A into project B.
Now project B has all the blog posts and related information needed EXCEPT: Images that are embeded in the blog post text field.
The images in the blog post are displaying as placeholder and I cannot figure out why this is happening.
Hi @operator6004 - The image references are all pointing to your local machine as the source.

Can you share Project A (if the link you just shared was Project B?
Did you manipulate the content in the CSV file before uploading it?
Hello sorry for the delay, it wouldn’t let me leave a reply. I did not manipulate the content before uploading (it was confusing to look at). I was under the impression the images in the articles (blog post text) were hosted on my webflow account and would be brought over. As you can imagine this would be very painful to bring over manually as we have over 100 articles.
Thanks for the help!!
Here is Project A:

@operator6004 - I have confirmed that images in RTF field imports are replaced with a placeholder.
I opened a bug report.

Do you believe image population upon uploading csv into my cms collection is a webflow bug ?
You had another issue in addition. Your CSV was manipulated on your or someone’s computer after you exported the data from webflow. The image URL was changed in the CSV to a local file reference on a MAC. That had nothing to do with webflow.
I should add this for clarification; even if you fixed the local file references to valid URL references like they are on your original export from A, you still would get placeholder images in the uploaded CSV RT fields, because of the bug.
So essentially we need to do the import from the original MAC machine when the bug is fixed?
Nope. Download the CSV from A again and don’t try to edit it at all. Then you would be able to upload it to B, when the fix is in. I have no way to know if or when that is going to happen.

Hello @operator6004
I think that currently you can’t upload images the right way. You need to manually insert them. It’s a pain and I totally understand you.

Please stop posting the same question as a new post. It is not going to help you resolve the issue.
FYI: Webflow fixed a CSV import bug today. CSV importing contents with image tags into rich text fields are now importing correctly with no change to the image source.
