Import CSV inside a resource page to save exported data to a relationship table.
Hello there.
I have an order resource page, and a repeater inside of it to add products to the order page, so Order has Many Product Items, and order items belongs to an Order.
I have orders whith more than 200 items, and it's pretty much stressfull to add them one by one using the repeater. So importing a CSV will be a very good option to have in my workflow.
Is this posible with the built in importing feature in filament 3 ?
Thank you

As mentioned in official document, the built-in Import feature of Filament, only supports
BelongTo relationships.

Since your relationship from Order to ProductItem is HasMany which is noy supported, but fortunately you have the chance to swim against the river's stream 🤓.
Tip: Instead of importing Orders first, Import Order Items first 😉
You can define your importer for ProductionItems, and define some columns with order relationship of ProductItem model, which is a BelongsTo relationship.
