Importing with linked fields

Post by sambe »

I'm trying to import a list of records, one of the columns in my spreadsheet relates to an entity. But I can't seem to figure out how I import the entity links, as well as the rest of the raw data.

The scenario being as follows:

An entity 'Keys' with the fields 'Key Number' and 'Linked Property'. The linked property field is an entity field with a dropdown linked to the Property entity.

I'd like to be able to import an excel document with Key number in one column and linked property in another, but whenever I do it doesn't import anything for the linked property column. What do I need to put as the values in the excel sheet for the entity. I've tried the ID and heading fields and they haven't worked. Is this possible?

What is the fieldtype of the heading of your Property entity?
Rukovoditel will easily import Entity field only when the heading of the related entity is using any of the following fieldtypes: Input, Input Masked, Static text by pattern, Input URL. If you use other types, it won't work.
