Import data into Select List using using Feeds and the Feeds XML Parser from xml file

Question

I have to import some data from a xml document.

I'm usuing the https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds and the https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds_xpathparser modules.

I have other fields which get the data with no problem at all. But I can't get a Select list to get the data from the xml.

XML LOOKS LIKE

<properties>
  <property>
    <type>House</type>
  </property>

  <property>
    <type>Flat</type>
  </property>

  <property>
    <type>Parking</type>
  </property>
</properties>

INFO OF THE field "Type" WHICH GET THE DATA:

Type:

List (text)

Control:

Selection List

Allowed values list:

House|House
Flat|Flat
Parking|Parking

THEN, IN THE FEED IMPORT SETTINGS:

-MAPPING: add the xpathparser selecting the field "Type"
-XPHATH XML PARSER - Settings: set the XPath for the field to "Type"

As far as I see everything is all right, but it doesn't work.

I have other fields in the same importer which get the data with no problem at all.

If you're on Drupal 7.x, you probably want to be using this module:

https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds_ex

This is the new home for no-longer actively maintained one (https://www.drupal.org/project/feeds_xpathparser)

I've been using feeds_ex and haven't had this problem.

Also, and I'm not sure about this, but I think the machine names for the list values should all be lowercase - but I could be wrong about this.
