    Fix: Import Failed or Tasks Missing After Upload

    A partial import in LemTask usually means the source file used a non-standard column layout, contained more than 5000 tasks in one file, or referenced sub-tasks whose parents were filtered out. Re-exporting per-project and mapping columns during upload fixes almost every case.
    1. Export per project, not the whole workspace — most tools cap CSVs at a few thousand rows.
    2. Open the CSV in a spreadsheet first — confirm the Title, Due, Priority columns look right. Fix any garbled rows.
    3. Map columns on upload — the import wizard shows a preview. Don't skip it.
    4. Notion: export as *Markdown & CSV*, then upload only the CSV.
    5. Trello: JSON must be the *board* export, not a card export.
    6. Still short? Re-run — imports are idempotent by title + due date, so duplicates won't stack.
