Hi,
I've imported parent and child posts into my website. When I try to import associations I receive a list of associations that can't be imported - these seem to be for parent post titles that contain the HTML special characters ampersand, quotes and apostrophe - I've converted them to "& amp;", "& quot;" and "& apos;" (without space). For parent post titles that do not contain HTML special characters the associations are imported ok.
Are there any known problem - what's the solution.?
Thanks

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I think that you will need to change the special characters with their respective HTML entities in the parent posts CSV file, and in the children posts CSV file. Does it make sense?

If that does not work for you please reproduce the issue on this test site with minimal CSV files. Only add 2 or 3 posts to showcase the issue and I'll see if we can find a solution for it. You can log into the test site with the following URL
