I am trying to follow this example: https://toolset.com/course-lesson/importing-repeatable-field-groups-when-using-the-csv-importer-plugin/
in order to import data into a repeating field group for my custom post type "Sensors And Sensing Switches"
I have made a file which is exactly like the documentation. however when I import it, the repeating field group is not populated.
you can see the file here: hidden link
you can see the resulting imported post here: hidden link
you'll notice that the repeating field data did not import. Feel free to delete it and try the import again to see what happens.

Hello,
The Toolset repeating field group is based on one-to-many relationship, in order to import the relationship, you will need to install the "WP All Import – Toolset Types Add-On" plugin, see our document:
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/import-posts-from-csv-with-relationships-using-wp-all-import/
i need to use Ultimate CSV Importer plugin like you have in your documentation here: https://toolset.com/course-lesson/importing-repeatable-field-groups-when-using-the-csv-importer-plugin/ not WP All Import
For "Ultimate CSV Importer" plugin, please check this document:
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/how-to-import-posts-from-csv-files-and-maintain-relationships-when-using-the-csv-importer-plugin/
As I mentioned above, Toolset repeating field group is based on one-to-many relationship, and the relationship slug is same as repeating field group slug.
thank you, i understand that Toolset repeating field group is based on one-to-many relationship, and the relationship slug is same as repeating field group slug. but what you are suggesting does not help, because of the way my CSV data is structured.
I have lots of data, and it is structured exactly like this tutorial: https://toolset.com/course-lesson/importing-repeatable-field-groups-when-using-the-csv-importer-plugin/ I need to follow this tutorial exactly, because I have lots of data that was formatted this way, and lots of repeatable field groups. Its not feasible to create separate sheets for all of them where each repeating group is a seperate line. this method combines them into one line for each post.
I know this method is possible because I have used it with toolset on another project (and because it is in your documentation) - however the import is not working, and I am hoping that toolset support can explain why, or help me fix it.
here one line of my data, with other fields stripped out as an example: hidden link
again, just for clarification, i can not use this method: https://toolset.com/course-lesson/how-to-import-posts-from-csv-files-and-maintain-relationships-when-using-the-csv-importer-plugin/
instead i need to use this method: https://toolset.com/course-lesson/importing-repeatable-field-groups-when-using-the-csv-importer-plugin/
Thanks for the details, since it is a compatibility issue within the Ultimate CSV Importer plugin, according to our workflow, I need to provide detail steps to reproduce the same problem in a fresh WP installation, but I don't have a copy of it in my localhost, please provide a downloadable URL for it, I need to duplicate the same problem in my localhost, thanks
Sorry, maybe I am not describe it clearly.
In order to duplicate the same problem, I need the latest version of "Ultimate CSV Importer" plugin, can you put this plugin into your google drive disk, share the link in below private message box, thanks
Requested the access, please grant it.
i have granted you access, and changed the link so that anyone with a link can view. sorry about that hidden link
Thanks for the details, I can download the file, will update here if find anything
The plugin file you provided is "WP Ultimate CSV Importer - Custom Fields Import" version 2.0.5, but according to our document:
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/import-csv-ultimate-csv-importer-plugin/
It requires the plugin "WP Ultimate CSV Importer Pro plugin".
And I have checked it in their website:
hidden link
The latest version of "WP Ultimate CSV Importer Pro plugin" is 6.2, it seems you are using wrong plugin, I suggest you check it with
"WP Ultimate CSV Importer Pro plugin" support.
And according to their document:
hidden link
It is the same column name "Parent_Group" as our document
yes, here is the correct plugin. appologies for the mix up.

I can see now that if I import the attached CSV, and view the admin edit post screen, the import does indeed import the values into the post. great!
However, as you can see here: hidden link toolset seems to be displaying more fields than the ones directly related to the post.
here is the view which is supposed to display the RFG. the view has the appropirate filter which restricts items to those in a relationship hidden link
however, if i create a post manually, like this one: hidden link the view displays correctly.
Thanks for the details, I can download the files, will update here if find anything
I have checked it in your website, I assume we are talking about the repeatable field groups "Air Filter Inlet Pricing", and I have done below modifications in your website:
Edit the post view:
hidden link
In section "Query Filter", change the filter to:
Select items from the Air Filter Inlet Pricing group that are related to the Post where this View is shown.
Please test again check if it is fixed, thanks
I see that that worked, however if you select that option, the pricing will not display for other post types: hidden link
if, instead I use "Select items in any relationship" it will display on all of the other post types as intended, and it will do so correctly as long as I create the post manually. It only displays a bunch of unrelated data if imported.
I would like to understand _why_ these other repeating field groups are displaying in the loop. They should not display since they have no relation to the post in the view, and if I create the post manually this does not happen. here is a manual example: hidden link
I notice that the same repeating problem happens for the 'tech data' view which displays data from the "Tech Data" RFG.
