Is that for only importing categories, or for importing entries with categories? I can't seem to get the categories to get set on entries when importing entries with categories.

<p>I posted this on github already but I thought I would ask her as well to see if anyone has any ideas</p>

<p>Im trying ot do a simple import of some organizations with categories and parent organization</p>

<p>Here is the CSV</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/irh8cno9eh536su/testImport.csv?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/s/irh8cno9eh536su/testImport.csv?dl=0</a></p>

<p>Everything goes in (including the parent which is an entry field and works great) but the categories always end up blank.</p>

<p>Any ideas what might be wrong?  The importer isnt showing any errors.</p>
