Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
If I've understood it correctly, would it be clearer in Basic Settings if "Attach to content type" was "Attach Importer to content type", in order to differentiate it from the Node processor which attaches imported content items to nodes.

I still don't quite know what it means to attach an importer to a node. But for my purposes at least I know that the "standalone form" is what I'm after.

Let me know if this makes the setting clearer!
