CSV import of Media to exisitng Item

Omeka S Modules
1

I have tried a multitude of variations but when I try to sideload media to an existing Item I get errors.
One error is “A media to create is not attached to an item” or it does not like the Internal id which is 17. I have tried using 17 and “17” and ID:17 all which are seen as an error.
I have checked the Item and the ID is 17.
My CSV import has a line for Item and I have tried

I have used the Item line in the CSV and set it up like this:
Data type: Omeka Resource
Resource identifier property: Identifier

It does not seem to like the number 17 which is the ID number for this Item I am trying to put Media into.

I have read the directions but the problem for me seems to be it does not like the ID number or how I have it entered in the CSV.

I can get the Media in if I use upload but we have multiple pages (images) to upload so using the CSV method would be more efficient.

Any guidance or help would be appreciated.

I still get the error: “A media to create is not attached to an item (sideload: 2020124_Left_01.jpg)”.

Does this mean it cannot find the Item(17) or it does not like the Sideload directions that worked for creating Items?

Hi @cslcds ,

Sorry, I may have misled you in my previous comment and I’ll delete it to prevent confusion.

Here’s a screenshot of where you should actually select the Item by specifying the Internal ID.
