Is it possible to import relation data with parent's id ?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to import relationship data using the parent post's ID instead of title, since some titles can be duplicated.

Solution: Yyu can use the post ID in the CSV file. We have a guide available here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/how-to-import-content-into-wordpress-using-csv/import-csv-ultimate-csv-importer-plugin/how-to-import-posts-from-csv-files-and-maintain-relationships-when-using-the-csv-importer-plugin/

I'm moving to new relationship.
New version is very convenient but import/export is more complicated than old one.
I have used "WP All Import plugin" for importing but I have no choice to use " Ultimate csv import pro" now.

In new relation, I'd like to import data with parents id instead of parents title.
Is it possible?
Post title may be duplicated unlike id.

What is the best way to import for relation data ?

Sorry I didn't understand - can you use Ultimate CSV Importer Pro?

If yes, then you can use the post ID in the CSV file. We have a guide available here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/how-to-import-content-into-wordpress-using-csv/import-csv-ultimate-csv-importer-plugin/how-to-import-posts-from-csv-files-and-maintain-relationships-when-using-the-csv-importer-plugin/

If no, you can use the post GUID in the CSV file as described in the last line in this section:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/importing-content-from-csv-with-post-relationships/#how-toolset-associations-can-be-added-to-a-csv

Instead of using the title of the post you can also use the GUID. This is helpful for the case you do not have unique titles.

You can find the post GUID in the posts table of the database.
