Why you need the WordPress ID? Statamic will generate its own ID when you import the data – is that something you need to preserve?

Hey Jack, I think WP Post IDs truly have no meaning in Statamic CMS in the default case.

We need the WP Post IDs in a special case (see #22). We have written a custom importer for WP comments. In Statamic we have created a separate collection for the comments. We need the WP Post ID to link the comments to the posts.

However, I understand that this is probably more of a borderline case and a merge is not necessarily warranted.

Best regards, Ike
