Single Value (1) Image field importing as Multiple Values in Feeds

I've created a CSV feed via Views Export that exports out data for a content type. I'm then using Feeds to import that onto another Drupal site.

Everything except the images are working, when I run import it's stating 

Failed importing 2 RSS Item items.

The content failed to validate with the following errors:
Image (field_image): Image: this field cannot hold more than 1 values.
Please check your mappings.

The field in question on Site A has a single limited value of 1, and checking the CSV export it's only showing one value, the absolute url of the image on Site A.

I've attempted to use Feeds Tamper and use all the plugins I can think of to fix this, but due to my freshness to Feeds and Feeds Tamper I'm not sure if this is a bug or misconfig on my part. Everything else is importing as expected onto Site B.

    Hi @MegaChriz,

    unfortunately, this issue for single value fields is still not resolved, at least for date fields. My content type is translatable, even the date field (although this does not make sense for a date field in my opinion).

    While importing the tag
    ... into a date field, the import fails due to:

    Veröffentlicht am (field_date): Veröffentlicht am: this field cannot hold more than 1 values.
Please check your mappings.

    Hi @MegaChriz,

    sorry, my fault: I could solve my issue above with:
    - install module feed_ex
    - changing the XPath statement for this field in feeds_tamper
    and
    - installing the patch in this comment: https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds/issues/3172709#comment-14999631 🐛 Error "this field cannot hold more than 1 values" when manually filling parsed source fields via FeedsSubscriber RTBC

    In order to make it work, I had to use these settings:

    context: /rss/channel/item
    XPath value: pubDate
    both option fields checked for this 'custom source':
    - raw value
    - inner xml.
