Import error (parent item has a child item that is in a different list)

Maxime.Schaller

Hi all,

I'm getting the following error in one of my import:

 

Import into Hub_0_Product_Group Marketing L8 # list failed: Parent item has a child item that is in a different list:
You can only add a child to a parent item, if any existing children of that parent item belong to the same list.

 

Do you have any tip/advice to detect and fix the root cause of the issue ?

I'm struggeling on that.

 

Thanks,

Have you tried using a numbered list? 

If so, and the error persists it would appear that you are trying to create a parallel hierarchy.

 

Create a duplicate second hierarchy using the desired parents and children ( this parallel hierarchy will contain a duplicate parent and the second child )

 

Create a mapping module which maps the two hierarchies using the parallel hierarchy's child list as the dimension and the primary hierarchy's parent list as a list formatted line item. Establish the relationship between parent and child and use this mapping when creating aggregation using the parallel hierarchy.

Does the code used in the child also exist in one of the parent lists?

Hi David,

Thank you for your reply 🙂

 

The parent list is a subset and I was importing items outside this subset into the child list. After having updated the source to export only items part of this subset it's working.

@Maxime.Schaller Thank you so much for this post! We had a similar subset parent issue and managed to resolve after reading this.
