Hi:
I´ve been trying to make this work for a looong time. Followed the examples with very basic XML, etc. I could see the parsing with the debug but no matter what I kept getting a "couldn´t identify title " error.
I was testing with the file upload and just title and body.
Maybe it´s obvious to someone, but you need to fill in something for the title... just any bogus letters and it will work.
Not obvious to me !!

Title: Empty title stupid error!! » Make node title required.

This is a Feeds feature. It allows the Feed to set the node title. I believe it only works for the RSS based parsers though. We could re-alter the form to make it required again, or it could be a Feeds issue.

Bumping, we should still do this.

Parsers can now implement providesSourceTitle() to tell if they support to deliver a title automatically.
This was added in Feeds in #1621602: Could not retrieve title from feed - Make title field only optional if the parser can deliver a title. See also the change record.

I think this issue is fixed.
