Hi,

I have been reading the issue queue for hours now and I find some references to my issue yet they seem to move away from the taxonomy inheriting. See #908776: No Source Available For Mapping which suddenly shifts to title and URL through #735530: Map feed Title and feed URL (not feed item title and url) and the most important one #632920: Inherit properties from parent feed node (taxonomy, author, OG, language) addresses xml/ rss feeds. The solution may have been posted elsewhere and I may have missed it. In that case I apologize.

The issue:
I have a content type called "feed 1". It has a tagging taxonomy field.
I have an importer, which retreives a CSV from a URL. This importer is attached to the content type "feed 1"
The processor of the importer creates nodes called "a-nodes"
When mapping the data in the CSV, I type the column names and select the appropriate fields to map the values to
..... I cannot map the inherited taxonomy to any field!!!! I have tried typing "parent:taxonomy:4" as the source but no luck.

If I change the processor to rss/atom I can select the taxonomy from the "feed 1" node, so it seems to be possible to have my "a-nodes" inherit taxonomy from my "feed 1" node. But how to map this using CSV?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Based on the source code I don't think what you want is implemented yet, the only free form source that works is "parent:uid". Someone will have to add this feature to getSourceElement method of FeedsParser or FeedsCSVParser.

Interesting. I have working inheritance with CSV imports from various patches to an earlier version of Feeds, but all of the relevant issues were eventually closed off as duplicates of the ones you mention. It looks like making this work with CSV imports got completely lost in the shuffle, and I'll have to pootle along with an earlier version of Feeds. Ho hum.
