Invalid reference key in CSV import
I am trying to import some information into items -- when i attempt to import the information on an inventory item, it works fine -- but when i do the same thing for assembly items, it fails. Basically i have some custom fields that source from items. I use the items internal id to update the custom field -- it works fine on inventory items but doesn't on assembly items -- any thoughts on the problem or a work around?
I do have two different imports set up -- one for inventory items and one for assemblies but it fails on the custom item on the assembly items stating "invalid custitem_field reference key. Even though the value is a valid internal id.
