[Resolved] Import one-to-many relationships with Ultimate CSV Import

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

Problem: I would like to use the Ultimate CSV Importer tool to import posts in a one-to-many relationship, but it's not working as expected.

Solution: Use the IDs from the new system to identify related posts. Numeric post titles are not well supported, since they could also be IDs.

I think the use of numbers as post titles is causing a problem in the import process. The system assumes you are using post IDs, not titles. In the related-post-komponist column, include the Komponister ID from the new site, not the old site. On the new site, Komponister 12 has the ID 1156, for example.
