select list blank

The same problem here.

Strange, I have checked my "old" nodes - imported with alpha5. All of them have select lists selected. It seems that this problem appeared with this version.

Yup, seeing the same thing here in that latest dev. Additionally, editing the node and resaving it causes all the select list content to be reset to NULL.

upping to major since this is gonna cause some havoc on feeds with select lists.

Happened here as well.
I have the 7.x-2.0-alpha7 version installed.
Any solutions yet?

I found that this may be partially a documentation issue. Some places indicate you should import the key for the select item, other places say the value. I ended up importing the key and this started working for me.

My key and value are the same, so it's not that in alpha-5. Can't tell for later versions, I'm using alpha-5, because image alt and title patch isn't working for the later ones.

Same problem.

Same problem here... subscribing

It's because an extra space gets added with the value, adding trim with feeds tamper seems to fix this for now...

@immoreel, I don't think that's the issue that other people are having.

Can someone give me a detailed example of how this is happening?

I'm having the same issue. Here is my configuration:
Feeds 7.x-2.0-alpha7
Feeds XLS 7.x-0.0
Feeds Tamper 7.x-1.0-beta5

I am importing data from an .xls file. I have a field, field_example, that is a list(text) field, displayed as a select list. When importing a value that is in the Allowed Values list in the field configuration, the data displays correctly on the front end, and is selected in field_example on the node edit form. If the imported value is *not* in the Allowed Values list, the data displays as expected on the front end, however, on the node edit form, nothing is selected for field_example on the node edit form, and when the node is saved, the data disappears from the front end as well. Adding a 'trim' filter with Feeds Tamper had no effect on this behavior. If the key matches the imported data, it is imported properly, and selected in the back end. If the label matched the imported data, but not the key, the data is displayed on the front end, but is not selected on the back end, and disappears on node save.

Please let me know if I can provide any further information.

UPDATE: I updated to the latest Alpha8 version of Feeds, same problem, same behavior, fwiw.

Using Feeds Tamper Explode plugin on my multi select lists solved the issue for me.

I am experiencing the same issue. Some of my fields are selected correctly in the edit screen of my nodes, and others are not selected correctly. How can this be fixed? Is there any way to fix it once the nodes have been imported? I have 8,000+ nodes, so it would be pretty inconvenient to have to re-import them all.

---EDIT---

It appears that my issue was related to the fact that some of my keys had spaces or slashes in them. (ex: "Red Hat" or "Blue/Green"). I used Feeds tamper to find/replace the spaces and slashes with "nothing", changes the keys for my options on my node type, and re-imported the nodes successfully.

With select list text fields, Feeds cares about the key of that CCK field and not the value. In a nutshell, you either have to match the key exactly in your spreadsheet and CSV prior to import, or you do what you did with a Feeds Tamper find and replace. It's likely that your key/value pairs appeared to be identical but were really not due to those special characters.

I know you fixed the issue, but I thought I'd add a few details just in case you encounter other aspects of the same problem. For instance, this would also happen if you decided to use custom keys.

#15 I do as explained here and manually change in my CSV-file prior to import but would also try to do what #14 explain and use Feed Tamper to find and replace but can't figure out to get this working and hope some one could help showing me a PrintScreen how it should be done or explain step-by-step, please?

Have several allowed value list like:

|
1|Ja
0|Nej
2|Ved ikke 

So what should I do in Find/Replace to get this working for all these lists, please?

What issues are you having, tinem? The basic steps would be:

1. Go to the tamper tab for your feed (admin/structure/feeds/your_feed_name/tamper).
2. Click "Add plugin" for the field you want to add find/replace.
3. Choose "Find replace" from the first select list (it's in the "Text" section).
4. Enter "Ja" into the "Text to find" field.
5. Enter "1" into the "Text to replace" field.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for each field.

For my site Feeds 6.x-1.0-beta13 and Feeds Tamper 6.x-1.0-beta4

Thanks silurius for trying to help. My issue is I have to change my CSV-file manually to work:
where people have used "Ja" to "1"
where people have used "Nej" to "0"
where people have used "Ved ikke" to "2"

This is how it looks inside Drupal 6 http://tinemuller.dk/div/bemanding.jpg

I have already tried what you suggest and first replace is functioning but I need to do this 3 times for the SAME field and if I try second time making a new plugin with replace on the same field I get an error "id is taken".

Some have suggested using explode plugin but I can't figure out to do it RIGHT because I can't code in PHP. :-(

That's right, you will need to create three "Find replace" plugins, one for each of those three keys:

1. Find "Ja" and replace with "1"
2. Find "Nej" and replace with "0"
3. Find "Ved ikke" and replace with "2"

For the third one, you may need to check the "respect word boundaries" box that should be below the replace field). Or if that doesn't work, you could create two "Find replace" plugins for that field:

1. Find "Ved " (note the space) and replace with "2"
2. Find "ikke" (no space) and replace with nothing

I'm on Drupal 7, and I'm assuming multiple plugins can also exist in Drupal 6.

The Explode plugin is only necessary for imported nodes that contain multiple values (e.g., both "Ja" and "Nej" exist for a given node). If each node only has a single value for that field, no Explode plugins are necessary.

If all of this is too confusing or too much trouble, or just doesn't work, you might also consider changing your keys to match your values (e.g. Ja|Ja). To do this, you would add the new key/value pairs and update existing nodes on your site using Views Bulk Operations to use the new key/values, and then delete the original keys/values (e.g. 1|Ja).

So happy that you take the time to help me but not possible to have multiple plugins as you suggest on Drupal 6.

Ja is OK - http://tinemuller.dk/div/ja_ok.jpg
Nej not OK - http://tinemuller.dk/div/nej_id_is_taken.jpg
Ved ikke not OK - http://tinemuller.dk/div/ved_ikke_id_is_taken.jpg

AND I need to do the same for ALL these fields with select list - http://tinemuller.dk/div/tamper_select_list.jpg

And there also is a problem with clone - https://drupal.org/node/2258377

A solution could be to update the code as mentioned here - https://drupal.org/node/2006810#comment-8739475

I have made a 3 minutes video showing what I need it for - http://tinemuller.dk/findtoilet/VIDEO/feeds/ :-)

The screenshots indicating that "Nej" and "Ved ikke" are not OK show that you need to define unique machine names for those plugins. When I create multiple plugins for a given field I usually just add a number to the end of the machine names, to make them unique. So "Nej" would have a machine name of "find_replace2" and "Ved ikke" would have a machine name of "find_replace3".

I've never cloned an importer before, so I'm not sure about that one. Sounds to me like the cloning process simply doesn't copy over the corresponding tamper.

Sadly it doesn't functioning. Think I have to update my site to Drupal 7 and use all the patches both for Feeds and Feeds Tamper to solve my problems. But thank you very much for trying to help.
