bulk creation of contact associations

[bgoulet00]

is there a way to create contact associations to locations using csv import?

[bgoulet00]

can this only be done programmatically?

Should be doable by directly accessing the "Import Objects" job and selecting extras | contact association as the content type:

trying to associate contacts to locations.....
i assume associated_object_id is the UUID of the location object. must be done by UUID and not by name
i'm not sure what it is looking for with associated_object_type in the format app_label.model
i've unsuccessfully tried several variations of dcim_location and dcim_locationtype
after some searching this looks like it might be some django thing? i have no experience with django so i'm not sure how to approach this

[glennmatthews]

associated_object_type would be dcim.location or dcim.locationtype. You are correct about associated_object_id.
