Cant Import data to bundle tables

When making a table that has the bundle type and containing strings, I can export that table to CSV using the exporttable command. But I am unable to import that csv file to the table again with importtable. The size of the table is imported but all the cells are blank.

I have attempted to do the same with the exportdataset and importdataset commands but it doesnt work either. In fact I cant find any scenario where using format options 2 or 3 with importdataset ever works.

Is there something here I have completely misunderstood or is this i bug?

The importtable() command does work for bundles. We will put an issue on the dev list to look in to the issue.

For now, I would import the data into a non-bundle table. Then, use clone() or cloneTo() to copy the table to a bundle table. Then you could use setSize() to clear the first table.
