I use WPImport to populate my files on a daily basis, this is an automated task run by a cron job.
The import works fine but after the import has completed the template does not get assigned to the post type.

I tried adding a custom field for _layouts_template and assigning the slug but this didn't work.

How do i assign the correct template when importing please. Otherwise this solution is a total time waster as i can't expect the client to go in and manually bind every time an import has completed.
