import multi-value from csv into entity reference field from a field collection

Question

I posted this question at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39234531/import-multi-value-from-csv-into-field-collections but I have not got any replies yet. Below is the summary:

I have a simple csv file with 3 columns: NID|Key|List; where NID is the node id and Key was the unique value used to add field collections to the respective node. "List" is a multi-value field separated by ";".

Example (csv file):
NID,Key,List
1,2,text1;text2;text3
1,3,text4;text4
2,123,text1
...

Field collection has an entity reference field to a taxonomy plus other fields.

Field Collections:
Field1: text;
Field2: Term Reference;
Field3: Entity Reference; <-- importer/tamper not working!
...

The field collection fields were mapped correctly, except for the field that was an entity reference to a taxonomy. I configured Feeds Tamper with the Field Collection Feeds module but the entity reference list was not imported.

Does anyone has experience (suggestions) importing a multi-value field from a csv file into an entity reference field within a field collection?

Answer 1

Solution: using the same feeds importer's configuration but instead of importing with the standalone form, it worked once it was moved to a content type form. If a content type is selected a source is imported by creating a node of that content type.
