Mapping

Field mapping format: formFieldId itemFieldId:converter. The converter is optional, value is taken as is. Latter implies value types are matching in EasyForm (form field) and target schema (item feld)! Make sure you have at least eiter the title or id mapping defined, because it will also be used to create the id of the item!

topic title
comments text:plaintext_to_intellitext
event_start start:datetime_with_timezone
video_upload file:fileupload_converter

Note

There have been ZODB transaction issues, turn off versioning for easyform as a workaround.
