Can Feeds import rss feeds only if terms exist? [#2659466]

I used Feeds some years ago in a normal way (importing & tagging nodes)
Now i wish to import and create nodes only by the terms that exists and avoid to
import not matching feeds.
Before going on work..it's possible ?

Thx

Yes, I think this is possible with the Feeds Tamper plugins "Entity Field Query finder" and "Required field".

Map the category (tags) source to a dummy target, for example "Temporary target".
Add a tamper plugin of "Entity Field Query finder" to this target. Set "Entity type" to "Taxonomy term", "Bundle" to the vocabulary in question and "Field" to "name".
Then add a "Required field" plugin to the same target.

This should result into that an item is not imported if it uses a term that doesn't exist in the vocabulary.

If this doesn't work or your conditions are more complex you could also either implement the hooks hook_feeds_after_parse() or hook_feeds_presave() to remove or skip items.

Thanks MegaChriz for your kind answer.
I don't need more complex conditions; only avoid to create tons of "orphan nodes" that doesn't match with vocabulary content.
I'll try your step-by-step hint tomorrow morning.

Have a nice day
