My customer has a number of scheduled RSS imports for a multi-site install. The same RSS feed in one instance is imported to multiple sites in the same install however the new nodes are only created on one of the sites and the others report that that the items were skipped because they already exist.
When evaluating if an item has already been imported do you check against only the DataSourceKey and not the UmbracoID and the DataSourceKey together?
Yes the relation is determined based on the key only indeed. Parent was included years ago but gave other and more issues. Copying to different sections an option maybe?
I'd rather not go down that route as it makes it less flexible for the customer as then they require my input. I will see if I can add a dummy query string to the url to differentiate it from the other instance(s).
