The easiest way of clarifying the required format for all batch create operations is:

- manually create a few entries of the type you want to create with batch create.

- Use batch update function to copy to clipboard

- paste the clipboard into your editing program

- look at the formating, it is identical to a batch create except it has an extra “Key” column at the right hand side.

- For an multi-line entry you will notice some cell contain multiple lines of data

- (no need to paste back into Manager as you do not want to modify these entries, just click on the bread crumbs or other tab to go some where else)
