Google App Engine BadValueError even after import_transform: db.Text

Question

Attempting to import a TextProperty, similar to another Stack Overflow question (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3434090/app-engine-badvalueerror-on-bulk-data-upload-textproperty-being-construed-as-s)

After adding the import_transform: db.Text, I still get an error. The story_html is a TextProperty()

BadValueError: Property story_html is 3132 bytes long; it must be 500 or less. Consider Text instead, which can store strings of any length.

My Bulkloader.yaml file.

                                    ('companies_links', lambda x: x.split('|'))])

 loaders = [StoryLoader]

Answer 1

You say you've set the import_transform, but there's no transform set on the story_html property. You need to set it per-property.
