Problem/Motivation

I am trying to update existing contents in my project using feed module. The contents were not created using feed module, they were created manually. I am new to this module so not sure if we can update these contents. Also let me know if manually created contents cannot be updated, if there is any other solution.

Steps to reproduce

I've mapped 8 fields(including nid). Selected do not create new entities and update existing contents option in processor settings. When i tried to update content from csv, in logs I get this message "Skipped because new entities should not be created."

    Yes, with Feeds it is possible to update content that was not originally created by Feeds. In order to update content, you need to mark at least one mapping target on the mapping page as unique. Furthermore, the CSV column names configured on the mapping page needs to match exactly with the column names used in the CSV file.

    How does your source look like? How did you configure your feed type? Is there a mapping target that you configured to be unique? If so, which one?
