The readme for the node_import modules does not say it works with flexinodes.
I beleive it assumes that the nodes are all simple nodes.

I also looked inside the node_import code and didn't find any reference to flexinode.

Does this feature exist ? or is this a valid request ?

Thanks !

I think that to support flexinodes in a generic way, there would have to be a node_export feature. Flexinodes have peculiar table structures that, from what I've seen, are best handled as "live" nodes (as compared to table data). That said, it wouldn't be too difficult to use drupal to generate a csv file with fields for each field of a given node type. Not all node types, however, have the same data in the database as they do in live nodes. This is one of the tricky points of node portability.

Node_import does work with flexinode. You have to carefully pick your column headings to match what fexinode uses internally. I don't know what this is offhand.
