Any reason why data upload might get stuck in Validation?

I’m uploading a list of 135 items into one of my things, and I’ve mapped a few fields including one that is a text list (basically keywords).

I’ve uploaded csv files before without any issues, with far more rows too, but for some reason this upload is stuck in validation at 1 of 135 records processed:

Since I’m using a Mac, I thought it might be an issue of the type of csv file saved by Excel - the Mac CSV vs Windows CSV vs MS-DOS CSV. But this problem occurs with all three types.

Nothing shows up in the logs, and no message is provided as to why this is happening, so I have zero way of troubleshooting this. Any advice?

@emmanuel any advice here? I had submitted this as a bug along with my csv to support and still no response

Have you checked for commas or weird characters in your data - perhaps in the description/short description fields? That’s the only thing I can think of. Failing that, I think a bug report is indeed the best way to go. Good luck.

I didn’t get a response to the bug report I filed. But strangely enough, for one of my uploads (for something like 20 items), I split it into two different csv’s of 10 items each and it worked.

Ideally, the validation would throw a notice as to why something wouldn’t pass (hey! there’s a problem in row 3! etc), which it sometimes does. Or if there was a log somewhere that had the reason why something failed - that would give me an idea of what to troubleshoot.
