Connections to External Databases for Object Types with a value list property.

Question

Hello, 
 
 I just wan to ask how can i import Objects via Connections to external data bases. 
 I already map out the Columns from the external DB, but 3 of the properties that i need to fill on our server has a value list. 
 When i tried to import the values from the columns, all values that are text properties are reflecting. But the properties with value on our server was blank. 
 The values from the external DB was not imported. 
 
 How can i import a values from an external DB with a target property of value list? 
 
 Thank you.

Should be possible if you can get a property from the external database that matches the Object ID of the value list. I have a few examples that work that way. You can't select a value list item based on its name.

Hello, 
 From what I know, there is no way to prevent previously created objects to be deleted when you are using external databases.
