Import list from excel/csv people picker field
I have an existing list that I want to export and import into a different site. The issue is, there are several people picker columns on this list and they are consistently being imported as text fields instead of a people picker column. The export is seemingly fine, but the import is not recognizing these columns as their original type - people. Any tips or suggestions?

There is a workaround for this, for anyone googling this issue:
You can import the list with the usernames separated by semicolons, add another column with the people picker field, then switch to gried view and drag and drop the names to the people field
