Hi @achitters have you already seen the CreateDataShape service available in the Resource EntityService, you'll have to map the column headers from csv to the fields that can be passed to the fields in this CreateDataShape()

I believe that should be doable with the UpdateFieldDefinition() , eg.

 

 DataShapes["DemoDS"].UpdateFieldDefinition({
	name: "Field1" /* STRING */,
	description: undefined /* STRING */,
	type: INTEGER/* BASETYPENAME */,
	ordinal: undefined /* INTEGER */,
	primaryKey: true/* BOOLEAN */,
	dataShape: undefined /* DATASHAPENAME */
});
