Hi Jason, importing aggregate date into data-sets (see my reply to Lars yesterday evening: https://lists.launchpad.net/dhis2-users/msg10452.html)
Again: the problem is not the import, but the combination of category options. Maybe it would already help a lot, if those bombastic strings for the names wouldn't be created for categoryOptionCombinations.
