 ## Bulk Import (CSV)
 
-When importing application services or [application service templates](./servicetemplate.md) via CSV, all port mappings for a row are given in a single `port_mappings` column as a comma-separated list of `protocol/port` pairs enclosed in double quotes. For example, `"tcp/80,tcp/443,udp/53"`. Protocols may be specified in any case.
