Hi there.
I often have a basic import procedure -
A bunch of contacts with name, email, phone, job title and employer,
For employer I set up the relationship
"employee of"
then "Organisation Name" (Match to Contact)
If I run this - great no problems, and the Org names are created as an org contact if they don't exist already, which makes sense.
however, sometimes to save time I would love to be able also to add these contacts to a Group on the import,
as is easily possible on the third import screen.
The problem is, that if i take the steps above, not only are the original contacts added to the group, but so are the Orgs they now have relationships too.
Is there a way to avoid this - normally I would just like the individual to be grouped and not the Org as well.
If not - is this an intentional outcome?

I realise the long solution is to simply import relationships and groups separately.

Thanks for the response Joanne

a reasonable work around and something I have been doing,
but alas sometimes I have the odd org that i either want in the group, or already was in the group
And so i have to check that is not the case beforehand, and make them the exception on the final advanced search.
