Pipeline to add Parent record from child import
I have an App where we are importing standardized data from another source regularly and I have 3 parent tables where the key field is a text field that matches fields in the child table. I am trying...
- One solution is to import to a temporary scratch table. Then have a relationship back to the parents who may or may not exist. But then also have a formula query to detect duplicates and only flag the first duplicate.
Here is one Blog on that.

The "extension" to your use case would be to hive off the first result form the Formula Query and only import where the [Record ID#] matches the duplicate finder.
