There was a problem hiding this comment.
The new Markdown document seems to be incorrect.
The column fields are listed here: https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard/blob/f0f7d27007f5a788f14416c548421efd740b7bce/app/Import/TaskImport.php#L34-L56
public function getColumnMapping()
{
return array(
'reference' => e('Reference'),
'title' => e('Title'),
'description' => e('Description'),
'assignee' => e('Assignee Username'),
'creator' => e('Creator Username'),
'color' => e('Color Name'),
'column' => e('Column Name'),
'category' => e('Category Name'),
'swimlane' => e('Swimlane Name'),
'score' => e('Complexity'),
'time_estimated' => e('Time Estimated'),
'time_spent' => e('Time Spent'),
'date_started' => e('Start Date'),
'date_due' => e('Due Date'),
'priority' => e('Priority'),
'is_active' => e('Status'),
'tags' => e('Tags'),
'external_link' => e('External Link'),
);
}Users can also download the task template from the web ui:
The CSV template looks like this:
Reference,Title,Description,"Assignee Username","Creator Username","Color Name","Column Name","Category Name","Swimlane Name",Complexity,"Time Estimated","Time Spent","Start Date","Due Date",Priority,Status,Tags,"External Link"

There was limited documentation on the import of Kanboard tasks using a csv file. So with a little poking around and some testing came up with a little cheat sheet in markdown so you can easily import Kanboard tasks from a csv file.
