Research direction

Start by reading issue 912 and the documentation describing DriveItem format conversion, then reproduce the reported CSV-to-PDF and CSV-to-XLSX cases. Compare the SDK request with the documented conversion behavior to determine whether the defect is in the SDK or the service; done means the documented CSV conversion works or the limitation is clearly documented.

Description

area: API Support priority:p2 type:bug
Describe the bug

The issue is the same as issue 912 but with the source format csv.

Expected behavior

The conversion should work as stated in the documentation

How to reproduce

We tried to:

  • Manually converting the .csv as .csv again -> it does not work
  • Manually converting the .csv as .xlsx -> it works
    It seems a server-side problem due the unsupported extension even though the documentation says csv is supported.
    Thank you.
