;;; Custom mapping of csv fields
;;
;; If a field is handled wrong or you want to extend the program to handle a new
-;; kind of csv format, you need to setup a custom field mapping variable. It
-;; should not be too hard, but you can also Use the existing tables as an example. By default, we
-;; use a combination of most predefined mappings, and look for all of their
-;; fields, but it is probably best to avoid that kind of table when setting up
-;; your own as it is an unnecessary complexity in that case. If you have a
-;; problem with data from a supported export program, start by testing its
-;; specific mapping table instead of the combined one. Here is a handy template
-;; to set each of the predefined mapping tables if you would rather avoid the
-;; configure interface:
