Description
Hi Magnus, in a custom Wikibase I was trying to create new items with a property value somevalue. It works when I do this in two separate steps like
qid,P1,Len
,Q1,"some label"
followed by
qid,P8
Qxxx,somevalue
But when I do:
qid,Len,P8
,"some label",somevalue
the statements error out with a message that somevalue is not known.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the two CSV forms shown in the report, then trace the QuickStatements input path that parses property values during new-item creation. Compare the combined-row handling with the later somevalue update. Done means the combined form accepts somevalue without the unknown-value error while preserving the existing two-step behavior.
