Hi
I am using a repeatable group .
The CSV file has Has FirstName, LastName, Email, eventid
The EventId is the parentID of the Custom Record
The import works well , if the user put the right Eventid(parentid) in the csv, but as usual some of our users have entered the incorrect id and those child records have ended up in the wrong parent records.
The parent record has another field called ClientCode .
I want thinking of putting cleintcode as a field in the import csv.
But how can I valaidate that the ClientCode and Eventid match before it imports the child record.
I would like to put maybe a filter on the import or something , that would reduce the user errors.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for getting in touch.

We here wouldn't be able to assist with this given that we only setup the structure of the post types but not import the data.

I would recommend that you get in touch with the support for the WP All import plugin in order to see if they can help by providing a hook or code to validate your fields before the import.

Thanks,
Shane
