This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: are there known limitations for importing from CSV?
Solution: It is possible to import post relationships and relationship field values with CSV imports. Some general CSV import limitations:
- Data in serialized formats is not importable. This includes certain field types like checkbox groups, skype fields, and fields that store multiple values.
- Date custom fields must be converted into Unix timestamp format to be usable by Toolset.
- Very large imports can put a heavy strain on your server.
Each CSV import plugin has its own feature set, more or less configurable with a built-in GUI.
