Issue: With Automatic Nodetitle enabled - Node Import still requires Title field. When uploading a file containing title field values, a 'haphazard' array of titles are formed automatically - with often one row's title being repeated for several other rows. Characters such as ' and & are created in their HMTL form in the title.

Sample rows (around 200 rows were uploaded in total)

Right Link --- Left Link --- Title
647 1 Oasis associated with (As Long As They've Got) Cigarettes in Hell
648 1 Oasis associated with (Get Off Your) High Horse Lady
649 1 Oasis associated with (I Got) The Fever
650 1 Oasis associated with (It's Good) To Be Free
651 1 Oasis associated with (Probably) All in the Mind
652 1 Oasis associated with (You've Got) The Heart of a Star

yielded for every Title: Oasis assoc. (As Long As They've Got) Cigarettes in Hell for around ten rows, and then a different title for around ten rows. Occasionally a title was imported only once.

Note: Disabling Automatic Nodetitle allowed the Title to be uploaded from the file, but this is undesirable as titles have to be created for each node before upload.

I am using Node Import with Automatic Node Title. I created a Title filed in my CSV file, but I just left all the entries blank. Auto Node Title overrides what gets imported anyway. I've even just mapped the Title to a random field and still Auto Node Title overrides. So, it's working great for me!

I had a similar problem, but after making sure no CSV-column was transported tot Title-field, and/or setting AutoNodeTitle to 'Automatically generate the title and hide the title field', it worked fine.
