Comments.Text: What type of field is ChildEntry->Body? Could it be that this is not a text field (but a Matrix field for instance), and therefore FeedMe can not use it for import?

Title: FeedMe Inner field mapping
ThreadText: # FeedMe Inner field mapping
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-04-11)
  
  According to the CraftCMS [FeedMe 4 docs](https://docs.craftcms.com/feed-me/v4/content-mapping/field-types.html#inner-element-fields) we should be able to import inner element field data when importing content via FeedMe.
  
  I have a section we'll call `Parent`, which has two fields that need importing; `ImportId` (text field) and `ChildEntry` (Entry relationship). Child Entry has two fields, Title and Body.
  
  I am able to map `Parent->ImportId` and `ChildEntry->Title` I am unable to map to `ChildEntry->Body`.
  
  *My JSON looks like this:*
  
  ```
  
  {
    "data": [
      {
        "title": "secrets",
        "import_id": "UUID-9-3/4",
        "child_title": "Harry Potter",
        "child_message": "Is in a dream",
      },
      ...
    ]
  }
  
  ```
  
  Is this expected functionality, or am I reading the documentation correctly?

  You should nest the *child*'s details like so:
  
  ```
  {
      "data": [
          {
              "title": "secrets",
              "import_id": "UUID-9-3/4",
              "child": {
                  "child_title": "Harry Potter",
                  "child_message": "Is in a dream"
              }
          }
      ]
  }
  
  ```
  
  Then make sure you you choose `data` as your **Primary Element** when mapping your feed and check **Create entries if they do not exist** for the relational field.
