Map a field more than once in import manager

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

is it possible to map a source field to more than one destination fields in import manager? E.g. I have a source field "client" and I have to map it to a destination field "client" and also to a combined lookup field which consists of a field "client" and "systemname".

Thanks for your answers. Regards, bd

Hi,

You cannot map the same source field to two destination fields but you can do the following :

Make a clone of that source field. It will contain the same values. Now map this field to the other destination field.

You refer the import manager reference guide page 91 for more details.

Hi,

Yes you can achieve this , During Import Manager when mapping source field to target field in Map Field/Values tab, just above this on left hand side you can see Source Hierarchy in MDM Import Manger, Right click on field which you want to map more than one Destination field, here you get Clone Field option which make clone field , so you can map this clone field to other second destination field which will serve your purpose.

Hope it will Help you,

Hi,

It is not possible to map one source field with more than one destination field but you can create the CLONE of source field which creates the exact copy of the original field with the same values and then you can map this field with the required destination field. As many clones can be created as required.
