Issue Summary
Even though a field may be set to "not required" in the node setup, node_import throws an error when you do not assign the field a value during import. Temporary work around is to create a new "blank" column in the import CSV, and then just set every "optional" location field to your blank column.

#1
pasted two bug reports in one msg by mistake - here is what the above msg should have said:
When trying to import into a nodereference field which is set as a text (auto-complete) widget, node-import throws an errors. Change the nodereference field widget into a select box, and node-import is able to import into the field fine.
#2
subscribe. This is eerily similar to #374346: Can't import date values into Date module fields where the solution is the same: use select list.
#3
same problem, subscribe :)
#4
Is this true? To import into nodereference the widget has to be a select box? I don't think that's working for me
Or does the entry in the CSV file have to reference the node ID, not the name?
#5
Yep, it's true...
You have to use the reference name... it doesn't work with the ID.
and what about nodes with same name? Don't ask... lol I should experiment this soon..
#6
Hm, I can't get this to work - I'm using a Select Box widget for the CCK nodereference field, and then in the CSV import I have the full name of the node to be referenced. Not working at all.
I've also tried this solution: http://drupal.org/node/288185
but that's not working either, as per the last comment.
Would be great to get nodereference working... Any other ideas?
#7
same problem same solution . It's great ¡
#8
You got this working using the Select Box and reference name? Hm, maybe a problem in my CSV file if it's working for others...
#9
Neither select nor autocomplete works for me. Importing records with node reference fields is critical for my application. Is there any progress on this?
#10
Setting node ref to select box, instead of autocomplete, fixed my problem -- using the latest dev version.
#11
The select box solution now works for me, too. Still hoping RC5 will support autocomplete.
