Definitely need those transformations before the API call.

Sounds like they forgot the JSON metadata file!

I feel like I read that if the data isn't formatted correctly in the CSV, it defaults to dimensions. Maybe that's what's happening here?

I practiced a similar question where transformations were necessary before uploading data. That could definitely be a factor in this case.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think if the values in the CSV are in double quotes, it could cause them to be treated as strings instead of numbers.

I remember something about needing a JSON metadata file for the data to be recognized correctly. That might be the issue here.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I think the issue is likely that the data needs to be properly transformed before uploading it through the External Data API.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll double-check the CSV file to make sure the field values aren't enclosed in quotes, and I'll also look into whether a JSON metadata file is required.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to review the documentation on the External Data API and make sure I understand the expected file format and metadata.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the potential causes and the metadata requirements for the External Data API.

The key here is understanding the different ways you can configure service tasks. The first and third options are clear, but the one about the file adapter is a bit more nuanced. I'll make sure to re-read that one and think it through step-by-step.

Aha, I got it! The data needs to be transformed before the API call. Can't just upload raw data and expect it to work perfectly.

Oh man, this one's tricky. I bet the double quotes in the field values are messing things up. Gotta keep that data squeaky clean!

Hmm, I think the issue is that the CSV file doesn't have the proper metadata. The JSON file is probably missing or incorrectly formatted.

I agree with Rosendo, without the JSON metadata file, the data might not be recognized correctly.

I think the problem might be because the JSON metadata file was not uploaded.
