2. Each row has to contain the user email and the custom field value to assign
3. Go to your Account settings and open Custom fields under the Cost management section
4. Click on the Team Member tab
5. Click Edit on the desired free text custom field
6. Under Bulk Upload, click Import options from CSV
7. Drag and drop or select the CSV file you have previously created
8. Click Import options
