Importing contact data to Joomla! I wonder if it's possible to tell RO CSVI to use a custom field as index for an entry.
I have the 


<LSRMitarb>

          <LSR_ID></LSR_ID>

        ...

        </LSRMitarb>

LSR_ID as unique value in every entry. This value is obviously not in the Joomla! database, so I added it as custom field.
Can I tell RO CSVI to use this field as identifier for each entry? Would make matching / updateing values much easier.

Thanks!
Chris

I expect availability early 2025. This will then be for all Joomla components that support custom fields.

Oh, that is great news!
Looking forward to this new feature. I think it will make the project I'm dealing with quite a bit more easy.
Thanks!

Hello!
Comming back after a long time to ask if this feature has been implemented.
I'm still running version 8.12.1 with a custom import override written by you some years ago. Most updates required a rewrite of that custom override. so at some point I stopped updating CSVI. But some major changes in the to-be-imported xml file come up so I consider to get into details of the logic again. Therefor it would be interesting to know if a external data field (.. Joomla! custom field) can be made the index.

Thanks!

Hi Chris,
Apologies on making you wait for so long on this feature. We started with the development but couldn't finish it for various other reasons. We are in the process of finishing this feature and can send you a patch file by next week for testing.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Hello!
I'm glad this feature is going to be implemented! Since we found a kind-of workaround with a custom override I have no hurry. At the moment I also have no time to do testing. But I'm happy to get into details in a couple of weeks.
Looking forward to see this coming into reality.

Thanks!

Hi Chris,
Import based on custom field feature is ready for testing with attached patch file.


1. Load the attached patch file
2. In Joomla contacts import template on Options tab set Import based on field to custom field name and save the template.
3. Run import and check.

Try and let us know on how that goes.
