Hi

Does anyone have any experience with modeladmin imports. They seem to work fine, but there appear two problems:

1. import specifications dont make any sense to an average administrator.

2. has_one fields (e.g. a field called MemberID in a table Order) do not seem to import correctly or, at least, I am not sure how to do this.

Any suggestions or ideas?

There are a raft of problems with the import:

so perhaps it is a better idea to remove it or build or own?

Any experiences would be appreciated.

If we get some useful responses then I might try to write a fix for some of the problems.
