Hello ,

Hello Titouan


Yes it is possible to export the file edit it and import again

May i know what is the entity data type? , is it basic fuzzy or id matched?

Also how is the id generating for that entity?

the entity is set to basic , and the ID is set to sequence

Hello Titouan,


This may happen if your action set for your import action is set to "Create only".

In which case you'll need to set it to "Create and update".
