Incomplete import from csv/tsv. [#1944612]

Hi,

We are using a feeds import to create around 300-400 nodes a month that are generated from another system.. The node has a title, node reference, two date/time fields, two boolean fields and a select list field..

When importing about 30% of the new nodes are not imported correctly/completely, one of the two date fields is left empty.. Its always the same field that is left empty.. The other date field has no issues and there are no issue with any of the other fields.. Looking at the CSV/TSV file there are no visible differences between rows that have worked and rows that haven't worked.. Its certainly a little baffling..

Anyone have any ideas on this?

got the same here, two text fields left empty cannot figure out why for now. I just updated to 7.22 recently.

Subscribing. I'm also looking for ways to debug Feeds and try to understand issues like thoses.

Same issue here. Sometimes fields (mine are mostly text) are picked up and sometimes they are ignored. My mappings are all correct and I can't figure out what could be wrong.

This issue is over a year old now. Has anyone found a fix?

Edit: Never mind. I might have been experiencing a different issue. Turns out that Feeds Import looks at the key and not the value, for select list fields. So importing this type of field requires either modifying the field value before it gets imported, or using Feeds Tamper to intercept and change it.
