XML Import into Linked Record Field

[Chris_Lu]

I’ve just been trying out the XML import block. It would be really useful for us, but you can’t currently import XML data into a field type which is “Link to another record”. You can do this with the CSV import block. It would be excellent if the XML import block supported this too.

Agreed. Currently, the work-around is to import in a text field and then convert the column into a Link to another table. This works well for the first import, then it is a pain to have to re-convert the columns for every import.

Yes, just ran into the same issue. Not being able to import into the linked fields is definitely a limitation.

Has anyone found any work around for this?
