Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): b9.2.272
Operating System: Windows 10

I am trying to import CSV files into separate columns with the file name in the comments section. When I import many files, I get two filenames in each comments section, the name of the file imported in the previous column and the name of the file imported into the current column. How can I avoid this?

These are the options I've selected in the import dialog:
1st File Import Mode - Start New Columns
Multi-File (except 1st) Import Mode - Start New Columns
I checked "Append File name to Column Comment", unchecked "Include File Path when Appending File name" and am using a partial import.

Hi,

This is a bug in Origin 2015, and it has been fixed in Origin 2016.

In case anyone else has this problem, here's a solution around the bug:

Under Import Options --> Scripts, I updated the Script after each file imported to:

NC=wks.ncols;
col($(NC))[C]$="";

This clears the comment appended to the next column before another CSV file is imported.
