    Hi @markupgeek

    I see that we helped out with this via our ticket system. Here was the solution for anyone else that’s curious:

    1) Pass the “active” element to a PHP function in the “Post Status” field inside the import: [my_set_status({active[1]})] (see screenshot and documentation).

    2) Save the code in the Function Editor:

    function my_set_status( $active ) {
	return ( $active == 't' ) ? 'publish' : 'draft';
}

    That’s it.

    Note: if you’re updating existing posts using this method, be sure to only update the post status – see screenshot.
