I have learned to use Feeds by trial and error. Finally got everything working the way I like but each time I go to update my feeds by importing new data the following two things keep occuring:

1 - On Create Feed page, the Feed field, that had the originally pasted in url link is blank
2 - The feed imports data to the wrong content type (most serious concern)
My setup:
I have 4 Feed importers cloned from the original "Feed" importer. Each has a different content type under node processor settings. Example: Name = Feed bob, Attached to = Feed, Node processor setting = Feed item - bob marketing. I did this so that when I go to my content list I can tell which feed items are associated with which Feed. Ex: Feed bob associated with all Feed-item-bob marketing, Feed sue associated with all Feed-item-sue-marketing. I am also using Taxanomy to distinguish bob and sue so that all bob display in a block and page view and all sue in a block and page view.

I am also using Yahoo Pipes for my RSS.

So regarding issue #2 above: when I update Feed bob by importing new rss data it will add the data to Feed-item-sue-marketing node type.

I have tried several different things to toubleshoot and searched the forums but can't find a remedy.

Certainly hope someone can help and that I have presented my issue clearly.
Problem: Each time I update a feed by importing new data the data updates to the wrong Feed item type.

Using Drupal 6.22

Thanks
