Using Data Sets - importing, naming and updating

[SJRiegel]

I set up a data set template a couple of years ago, and created about 20 labels with it.

At that time, I used the import script to bring the data sets in.  This year, some unique information is changing on each of those labels, and four new ones will be needed. I have a new spreadsheet containing all of the current data.

My questions -

Is there a way to update the data sets in the template document from a CSV, or do I need to create a new document, import the new CSV and re-associate the page items with the data?

The Data Sets come in as Record-1, Record-2, etc. Is there a way to automatically name them based on a field in the CSV, or am I stuck with renaming each one manually?

As of now, I cannot actually get a CSV to directly import. It generates this error 

I can use the Silly-V script on it, and it then imports with no issue.

I have looked it over, and I don't see any spacing or special-character errors that could be causing this. How can I track down whatever is preventing direct import?

Did you use Excel to create the CSV?

Can you open the CSV in a text editor and check the separator it uses. Is it really a comma or rather a semicolon?

I did use Excel to create the CSV. Also, I checked the file in a text editor, and the separators are indeed commas, not semicolons.

In this case you would use the script like you did the first time and everything will stay bound correctly as long as the variables are all named the same. Especially, in this case, the script is useful due to its presets feature. Saving presets for various jobs can be helpful and time-saving because the dataset name configuration is saved in those settings among other things.
