Import Error - Not Recognizing Header Field

Post by sgardner478 »

Version 2.8

I am trying to import records into a nested entity. It seems that Ruko needs a header field in each entity to properly import. I have designated a field type of "Value From Parent Entity" as the Header. See photo.

When trying to 'bind' fields, Ruko will not recognize the field that I designated as header. The field is not listed at all. In other entities, the header field is listed with an asterisk and the word (header) in parenthesis, as long as it's not the ID or "Value from Parent Entity".

I also tried to set the ID as the header and it will not recognize this when trying to 'Bind' records.

"Value From Parent Entity" is dynamic field and you can't import value in this field.

Thank you for your response. Does every entity require a header for importing?

If you want to import tree the your file should be like this:
Project 1 Task 1
Project 1 Task 2
Project 2 Task 3
Project 2 Task 4

And you have to bind Project and Task heading columns.
