In a custom module (assoc), I have a custom Content Entity (Person) with these fields:

$fields['lastname'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('string')
$fields['firstname'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('string')
$fields['email'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('email')
$fields['cellphone'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('telephone')

I migrated Person content from a Drupal 6 site using Migrate Source CSV, Migrate Plus, Migrate Tools and this migration file:

id: migration_persons
migration_tags: null
migration_group: null
label: 'Person migration from CSV'
source:
  plugin: csv
  path: /Users/efalzon/Sites/JdP8M7b/config/migration_Persons.csv
  delimiter: ';'
  enclosure: '"'
  header_row_count: 1
  keys:
    - id
process:
  id: id
  lastname: lastname
  firstname: firstname
  cellphone: cellphone
  email: mail
  iscontact: iscontact
  isactive: isactive
  member_id: member_id
  user_id: user_id
  owner_id:
    plugin: default_value
    default_value: 1
destination:
  plugin: 'entity:person'
migration_dependencies:
  required: {}
  optional: {}

I added a field to this entity using the UI: enter image description here The corresponding config files are field.storage.person.field_sel_initial_credit.yml and field.field.person.person.field_sel_initial_credit.yml I tried to migrate some content to this field using

id: migration_sel_initial_credit
migration_tags: null
migration_group: null
label: 'Sel initial credit migration from CSV'
source:
  plugin: csv
  path: /Users/efalzon/Sites/JdP8M7b/config/migration_Sel_initial_credit.csv
  delimiter: ';'
  enclosure: '"'
  header_row_count: 1
  keys:
    - uid
process:
  bundle: "person"
  entity_id: uid
  revision_id: uid
  field_sel_initial_credit_value: value
destination:
  plugin: 'entity:field_storage_config'
migration_dependencies:
  required: {}
  optional: {}

and I got this error when executing the migration:

[error]  Attempt to create a field storage without a field name. (/Users/efalzon/Sites/JdP8M7b/web/core/modules/field/src/Entity/FieldStorageConfig.php:252)

What am i missing?

  • The error comes from destination: plugin: 'entity:field_storage_config', which should most likely be destination: plugin: 'entity:person'. BUT: Migration a very strict 1 source:1 target entity mapping, you can't update a single field this way. Read the docs for the migration_lookup process plugin.

  • I did (read the docs about migration_lookup) and didn't find any clue on how to solve my problem. Any idea to put me on the track?

  • More generally, is there a way to modify the first migration file (the one that migrates Persons) to migrate field_sel_initial_credit_value at the same time?

In fact, it was easier than I thought. I just had to add the field to the Person migration file:

id: migration_persons_with_sel
migration_tags: null
migration_group: null
label: 'Person migration from CSV'
source:
  plugin: csv
  path: /Users/efalzon/Sites/JdP8M7b/config/migration_Persons.csv
  delimiter: ;
  enclosure: '"'
  header_row_count: 1
  keys:
    - id
process:
  id: id
  lastname: lastname
  firstname: firstname
  cellphone: cellphone
  email: mail
  iscontact: iscontact
  isactive: isactive
  member_id: member_id
  user_id: user_id
  field_sel_initial_credit: credit <----------
  owner_id:
    plugin: default_value
    default_value: 1
destination:
  plugin: 'entity:person'
migration_dependencies:
  required: {  }
  optional: {  }

  • Yes, fields are not destinations.
