1.6 CSV Import missing 'Force all ID numbers' switch in addresses ...

[LyoNick]

in csv import

combination and addresses are missing the 'Force all ID numbers' switch

1) is it default to force or to not force?

2) why no switch? is it a bug or intentional?

 

our use case:

we are keeping small CSV files for each group, category etc, in addition to a full csv per type

so when importing to a different shop, or re-importing it can be done in bite size.

 

making it easy to audit, and also give as ability to easly pick and choose what we don't wont to import,

and some time pulling in information from other sources and re-importing a small subset.

 

hence we relay quit heavily on the 'Force all ID numbers' to keep the relation consistent in the DB

I have the same need. The CSV import of addresses ignores completely the ID field, so there is no way to update an address from the importer.
