Importing User profile CCK fields (via Content Profile). Added to my CVS file a field for Authored By to satisfy that requirement on the Node Import form. However, even though matched fields, on the subsequent Node Import screen/form, the Authored By information is automatically populated with superadmin user with no option to leave it blank. Unless this is overwritten (which I have no evidence that it is*) after import, it is a big issue as "edit own" content type permissions will not allow for editing of that node.

If the Authored By field is overwritten after import, perhaps you could add a note to that last Node Import "authored by" field to so indicate.

* I had only unsuccessful attempts with using the Node Import module, in spite of importing only 4 small fields, 500 rows. So, I cannot attest to the outcome.

My modules:
Drupal 6.15
CCK 6.x-2.6
Content Profile 6.x-1.0-beta4
User Import 6.x-2.3
Node Import 6.x-1.0-rc4

Same issue, here. I'm trying to upload profiles for a large group of users, but I had other issues and was unable to test the outcome. I'm uploading the users first with ldap sync.

Drupal 6.17
CCK 6.X-2.6
Content Profile 6.x-1.0-beta4
Node Import 6.x-1.0-rc4
