Data Loader CSV Column Mapping

Category: General · Sub-category: general-misc · Last updated: 2026-05-08

tool:salesforce

Mapping CSV columns to Salesforce field API names for Data Loader, dataloader.io, Workbench, and custom Bulk API V2 loads. Covers header normalization, missing/extra-column behaviour per tool, required-field detection from describe metadata, polymorphic lookup prefixes, External ID upsert binding, picklist API names vs labels, datetime/timezone handling, and the case-sensitivity divergence between Data Loader (insensitive match) and Bulk API V2 (case-sensitive headers). NOT for picklist value validation pre-load — see data-loader-picklist-validation-pre-load. NOT for batch sizing — see data-loader-batch-window-sizing. NOT for general migration planning — see data-migration-planning.

From the source SKILL.md

Activate this skill before any CSV load — Data Loader, dataloader.io, Workbench, or a custom Bulk API V2 client — to lock down the column-to-field binding before a single row is sent. The cost of a wrong mapping is rarely a hard error: it is a "successful" job that silently dropped fields because of FLS, header case mismatches, polymorphic lookups missing a type prefix, or picklist labels submitted where API names were required.
