Hi Andrew,

Can you let me know a little more about this, is it a post type or taxonomy? 

does the post type or taxonomy have custom fields?

If you are using ACF are you able to export and attach the post type / taxonomy field groups so i can have a look?

Hi Andrew,

The field group is for an options page and not a post_type, taxonomy or user.

The acf-field group post type is used to store what fields are used in acf.

So are you saying I cannot import into ACF options?

Yes, this is not possible without writing some custom code to do this, as the acf options page are different to acf field groups on post types / taxonomies / users.

Just to confirm before i look into this that the previously attached acf field group is the options page fields that you want to import to?

Are you able to provide your csv/xml file so that i can use it as an example?

Hi Andrew,

If you create a new importer, from the choose template dropdown select "Open Street Map", configure the template fields, on permissions step set the unique identifier to {0} (this will be ignored as the importer is going to use the name name field to keep track of what is imported).

If you want to remove items that are no longer in teh csv when you import, enable the delete permission on the permissions step.

Then run the importer.
