            I can just see the developer when they set these values to begin with "70 characters should be enough for any address!"

            Anyway, patch looks fine Marina, pushed for integration.

            – Probably needs testing instructions...

            When I upload a CSV file including the address, the specified value is copied to user's institution, department and address fields. Not happening in production master.

            David, I can not reproduce it. Can you please attach the CSV file that you are using and screenshot of upload user form?

            Sorry marina, 1 sec, I see some optional fields filled when selecting the upload options once the csv. is submitted, probably is my mistake and the problem (if there is a problem) is not part of this issue

            It passes, I had a default value. I've run #3 without specifying an address as it is not part of the supported attributes
