When importing into a to-one or to-many relation, it will only ever link to existing entities and not create new ones based on the names in the CSV.

This means we need to make sure they exist, or else data will be lost on import.

Workaround: import into a text field and autolink. Still won’t create new ones automatically though, would need to add a scripting automation to get that to work on import.
