I see there is a GET /by-external-id in the API.<br>
<br>
None of my imported resources appear to have any values for external_id.<br>
I don’t see a mapping to or from external_id in the export/import maps.<br>
And I don’t see anywhere in the EDIT resource page to add an external_id.<br>
And the MySQL table external_id is empty in my DB.<br>
<br>
What are external_id’s for and how do they get assigned ?<br>
