Comments.Text: Does it work if you just import one category? As far as I remember, you'll have to use a different delimiter if you're importing multiple relations per cell, see "dataDelimiter" here: https://docs.craftcms.com/feed-me/v4/get-started/configuration.html

  I am trying to import some categories from a CSV into Craft entries (a categories field). Everything else imports ok apart from the categories
  
  I have created the categories in admin with the same name as the CSV categories but when I import nothing gets selected.
  
  I have the categories formatted in one column in the CSV seperated with a comma .e.g "Branding,Marketing,Design," (I read somewhere this is how it can be done).
  
  Any ideas anyone?
  
  Thanks
