Question

I am attempting to import data into Orchard CMS. I have a custom type, made up of parts and fields, and I am using the ImportExport module. I have exported some data from Orchard to ensure the XML schema is correct, but when importing, the only field that seems to be populating is the TitlePart Title. I have randomly generated a GUID for the identifier of each record. Orchard 1.4, ImportExport 1.4.

Example of one item of data:

<Orchard>
  <Recipe>
    <Name>Data Import</Name>
    <Author>myaccount</Author>
  </Recipe>
  <Data>
    <OurPropertiesDivision Id="/Identifier=94eff3237c714f98b021905c33d25ea9" Status="Published">
      <LinkField.Link Text="This is a link" Url="http://stackoverflow.com" />
      <MediaPickerField.ImageOne Url="~/test.jpg" Width="100" Height="100" />
      <MediaPickerField.ImageTwo Url="~/test2.jpg" Width="100" Height="100" />
      <MediaPickerField.ImageThree Url="~/test3.jpg" Width="100" Height="100" />
      <TitlePart Title="Test Title" />
      <CommonPart Owner="/User.UserName=myaccount" CreatedUtc="2012-04-04T23:03:39Z" PublishedUtc="2012-04-04T23:03:39Z" ModifiedUtc="2012-04-04T23:03:39Z" />
      <IdentityPart Identifier="94eff3237c714f98b021905c33d25ea9" />
    </OurPropertiesDivision>
  </Data>
</Orchard>

This results in the following when looking at the imported entry:

Edit screen:

The only field that is making it through the import is the TitlePart. How can I make this work in a way that I can bulk insert any type of field or part with data? I would also like to capture the Container for the Containable part.

EDIT: Adding content type metadata

Answer 1

I ended up analyzing the database inserts generated by the admin, and manually importing the data in SQL.
