Looks like I had it mapped to `altTitles`... I didn't even see that `altTitles/title` was there! Thanks crawf, you're a lifesaver!

<p>I need to import some data into a <strong>table</strong> field.</p>

<p>What's the best way to format the data in my original JSON feed?</p>

<p>I've tried this:</p>

<pre><code>[

    "second value",

</code></pre>

<p>and this:</p>

<pre><code>[

    {"col2": "second value"},
]
</code></pre>

<p>But neither of those JSON formats seems to be importing the data properly.</p>

# Feed Me: How to format JSON for a table field?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-05-26)

I need to import some data into a table field.
What's the best way to format the data in my original JSON feed?
I've tried this:
[
    "first value",
    "second value",
]

and this:
[
    {"col1": "first value"},
    {"col2": "second value"},
]

But neither of those JSON formats seems to be importing the data properly.
How should I format my data in JSON, so that it may be imported into a table field?

MORE INFORMATION
I've read these docs, but apparently I'm still doing something wrong.
My current JSON looks like this...
"altTitles": [
    {
        "title": "Morke"
    }
]

Where altTitles is my table field, and title is the only column.
I believe I've properly mapped the field...

Yet for whatever reason, the table fields are not populating...
