I want to import a CSV file with just the ID:id and the data for for a custom column, just 2 columns in total. From what I can see, that ID:id is the sequential unique number assigned when you add a book. I changed the Match Method identifier to the ID. Under columns to import I added those 2 columns but title and authors were already specified. If I click on preview it shows 4 columns: title, authors, ID, and my custom column.

Do I always have to include the author and title in my file? What's the purpose of being able to specify the Match Method if it's always going to use the author and title?
