Trigger not firing when importing assets via xml

Squiz Matrix General Discussion

Squiz 5.0.2.0

 

Hi.

 

We are exporting profiles from our current cms and batching them up to import in bulk into Squiz.  This all works perfectly.  However, a trigger that fires when one of these data records is created manually (it links them as type 2 into another folder) seems to be bypassed when the import is run.  The data type is correct, the trigger isn't looking for a particular status (e.g. live) and the trigger is set to fire on creation in particular places (one of which is where the import is creating its data records).

 

Any ideas - would the creation of assets via xml import not fire a trigger for some reason?

 

The trigger has ignore permissions set for everything (as only us back end admins can load the xml).

 

Thanks.

 

Jeff.

As a work around, you could use the Batch option in the Trigger Manager to run that trigger over all those assets.

Thanks Nic - that would be a life saver.  I shall try it this morning.

That worked well - much easier than messing with the import actions.
