Import to List & Vocabularies missing locale attribute

carlosTF

Hello,

I've successfully imported ca_objects.preferred_labels in different languages, but I've been unable to do so with the items of a List: all items for mfa_tematica are added successfully, but they all get the default locale ignoring the locale attribute.

I started here:

Rule type | Source | CA table.element | Options | Refinery | Refinery parameters
----------|--------|------------------|---------|----------|--------------------
Mapping   | 13     | ca_objects.mfa_tematica       | {"delimiter": ";", "locale": "ca_ES"} | listItemSplitter | {"list": "mfa_tematica", "matchOn": ["label"]}

and ended here:

Rule type | Source | CA table.element | Options | Refinery | Refinery parameters
----------|--------|------------------|---------|----------|--------------------
Mapping     | 13     | ca_objects.mfa_tematica     | {"delimiter": ";", "locale": "ca_ES"} | listItemSplitter | {"list": "mfa_tematica", "matchOn": ["label"], "label_locale": "ca_ES", "default_locale": "ca_ES", "forceLocale": "ca_ES", "createNew": true, "attributes": {"locale": "ca_ES"}}

Same result. Items get created with Preferred Labels en_US, not ca_EN

Any idea?

Thank you.

Hi,

I've kept trying, with no success. This is very frustrating.

We plan to go live in a month, but cannot do so unless we sort this out: we have about 2000 list items that need to be created in several locales, and the only reasonable way to do so is by importing the data.

I posted this in more detail a few weeks ago.

Thank you.

carlosTF what exactly are you trying to do?

create a new list item that doesn’t exist?
add a new locale label to an existing list item?
or add an existing list item as a value to a list metadata element?

You are mapping the target as a metadata element, so that just adds a list_item_id as the value and then the locale of the user determines which label translation appears for them.

If you want to add new values, you most likely need to write a mapping for ca_list_items, not objects, then relate the value to your metadata element (it still will only show the locale value of the user),

Other option is to not use a list metadata element, but a related list item (related terms in UI if I remember correctly). Then it acts like any other relationship and the listItemSplitter would have better luck.
