We're using feeds to allow users to import their blog via RSS.

We've got everything working well, however there's a strange bug(?) with the input field; it's pre-filling it with the last URL to have been imported.

Obviously this doesn't look great for users and in some cases the feeds are private full body feeds that users have created to import the full content of their blogs, which isn't great if they're exposed.

Is this a bug, or is there a configuration option for it that we've missed?

Thanks

same problem but it seems to me that it is not the last but the first one.

Are you using the attach to content type setting?

Yes, I am.

*EDIT* And to clarify, after using it further, it is in fact the first ever feed (the same as dhallennem) to be imported attached to that content type that is displaying in the feed input field.

Was this added when the importer was in standalone mode, then later attached to a content type?

Yes, it may well have been. We were having to play with it a lot to get it to do what we wanted.

Could that be causing this?

Yes, it is a known bug. I'm not sure if it has been reported yet :) I have used this "feature" before purposely, but it is indeed a bug.
