Import data without all display fields

[Former Member]

When you import a lookup table all display fields must be mapped and must be a field in the import map. This isn't possible at every import map. For example: we only want to import the code, but "code" + "description" are the displayfields in de look-up table. The workaround is the field "description" make not display during the import. This is possible in case of an once conversion import, but isn't possible in case of a regular import, because the fileds are permanent not display. This isn't acceptable for managing the data. How can we import the data without closing de displayfields temporary?

Thanks in advance,

Hello:

You have to import the display fields, because they are the main matching/indexing resource for MDM. what you could do, is to map only nulls and therefore leave it blank. Afterwards don't use this df as matching field.

I hope this helps
