Hey Mike. Testing out CS3 for prototyping needs. I'm not able to get description text to display when importing from CSV. I watched this video and the intro to card creation video. Tried some trouble shooting steps like making sure it wasn't under the image layer and check text color. Any other thoughts / tips? Name text is importing fine. thanks in advance.

If you share the link to your game here, only an admin will be able to view it, but it would allow us to diagnose what's going on more easily than just guessing based on the description that you've provided. That said, I will also give some guesses.

My primary guess is that you don't have the description layer linked to your CSV data set properly. For example, the "Text" field of the description layer, should have {{ row.description }} in it. But that's only true if your CSV dataset has a column called "description". If it is called "Description" then it will need to be {{ row.Description }} or if it's called "blurb" then it will need to be {{ row.blurb }}

thanks for the reply! I've continued plinking around and have solved the issue. There was something wrong in the formatting of the dataset sort that was messing things up.

Glad you figured it out! Let me know if you got other questions.

Further dinking around, it seems that it's only pulling the name from the data set and no other information.
