Field/setting to not ever overwritting field value

Posted by Summit on January 26, 2013 at 3:54pm

Hi,
I have external database which fills drupal nodes and fields.
I want to change the content of the imported nodes from this external database.
But after changing the content I do not want that a new import changes the content back!

So I want to be able to set my manual changed nodes to never be automated changed again.

How can I get this done using Drupal 7? Is there a module which sets fields to such a value that this entity is not overwritten.

Thanks a lot in advance for your reply!
Greetings, Martijn

Why wouldn't you just have your import process check if the node exists before importing it?

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I need it to only not-touch the nodes and fields inside these nodes which are changed manually.
So all other nodes/fields can be updated normally, but manually in drupal touched nodes/fields should not be updated.
Any suggestion for a module for this please?
greetings, Martijn
