I am using Feeds module with Xpath xml parser. Both are working great. I am getting all the feeds and images properly after mapping and configuring properly. No problem in this at all. But when I open any page/node i got through feed and try to make some change, I cant save it as it asks for Feed Url (which has been added by Feeds module and is now a required field in my content type). Is there a way to remove "required" conditionality from this field so that I could update or make changes in pages created through feeds. I am attaching the image here. Any help will be highly appreciated.

This is probably a configuration error in your Feeds importer. Did you attach the importer to the same content type as you were processing to?

In "Basic settings" of your Feeds importer, you can choose to attach your importer to a standalone form or a content type. If you choose a content type here, then creating a node of that type will act like an import form. If the importer uses the HTTP Fetcher, a required URL field will appear on the node edit form.

The content type you select in "Settings for Node processor" will be the type from which nodes will created during an import. Say you choose a content type called "article" here, Feeds will create article nodes from the imported items.

If I'm right with the cause of the problem, then you can fix it like this:

  1. Edit your Feeds importer.
  2. Go to "Basic settings".
  3. Select an other option for "Attach to content type". If you are not sure which one to select, choose "Use standalone form", that's the default option.

If I'm not right, then set the status of this issue back to "active" and provide more details about the steps you took, so the issue can be reproduced by others. It would a good idea to provide an export of your Feeds importer in this case (attach as a file).
