Number of text fields in import spreadsheet?

How many Text fields are available in the FCD spreadsheet import method?

Looking at the FCD import spreadsheet downloaded from the website, the “New Import Format” tab says:

Up to 5 sides of text are support, so you can add columns for "Text 3", "Text 4" and "Text 5"


But the “Complete Import Definition” tab lists Text 1 through Text 8 (plus Notes and Extra Info).

Which is right?

Hi.

Text 8. I think you can even go up to "Text 9".
Keep in mind that "Text 6" + won't be shown on the flashcard by default. Flashcard only has 5 sides. Text 1-5 will be shown by default.
To show Text 6+, go to Deck Options > Card Layout. Select "Custom 1". To edit, tap "Edit", Custom 1.
Tap 1->2 (for when Show Side First = Side 1)
Here you can see what is shown on each of the 5 sides.
You can assign Text items to each side as needed. Up to 5 items per side.
So for example, on side 2 (the first answer side), you can show Text 2, Text 6, and Text 7.
