re-importing without having to first delete Items with same Title ? (ie "overwrite" existing articles with same Title)

Hi !

As already mentionned, I use the Import function a lot.

In theory, you import your Items once and you're happy for the rest of your life.
But in practice, I have to reimport the same items many many times (because people change/improve their content).

If I reimport already existing Items without first deleting them, I noticed that the import does not fail : it simply creates items with the same Title and Alias, simply giving a new ID.
But how could I reimport them without having to first delete them ?
- maybe there could be an option in the Import configuration to say "check this box to overwrite existing Items if they have same Title"
- or maybe is there already some indirect solution, like specifying the ID of each item in the CSV file : but what does FlexiContent if the given ID already exists ? Overwrite or leave unchanged ?

I would be very happy if you could clarify this point

Hello

yes that is meant to be implemented,

either by using the FLEXIcontent item ID or by detecting if an item with same title exists

- currently the task only supports importing new content and not updating existing content

for v3.2
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/issues/71

that's great news !
updating existing content is interesting (on github you mention the idea of exporting/reimporting, but like in my case I don't even export : the source data are in a different file, let's say a Google Spreadsheet coupled with a Google Form).

Txs.
I'll be patient until 3.2 then
