Does anyone know if DataGrab will update the url_title of an entry if it was updated in the import file? I have the url_title set to a custom field from the import file but it doesn’t seem to update the entry in EE.

If the url_title is used as the matching field it would likely create a new entry vs updating the old one.

It isn’t, I am using a different different field that is a unique id for the matching field.

GOod Q. I have a similar Q about author. Weird as it is, I might need to change an entry’s author based on the import. @litzinger?
