During an import it is possible to import a URL to a URL field type by selecting the appropriate values, but there is no 'Description' field because it is part of the same URL field identifier.

 

To overcome this you can use the setting below to denote the text that should be set as the URL description.

 

URL"^URLDescriptionText"

 

In the above example 'URL' is the field from your XML to set the URL value, you then need to use the Caret symbol ^, this tells the system that the text after this symbol should be used as the URL description. Note the description text including the Caret symbol should be surrounded by double quotes.

 

This means that when setting up the mapping for this field in your import template it should look similar to the below.
