automatically adding Systems / Endpoints to findings

[hippyjm]

Good morning. this is potentially a very obvious one but cant see this in documentation (potentially looking in the wrong place)
Importing finding and endpoints separately works great. but it seems that for each finding i need to manually edit the finding to add the endpoint. or for each endpoint i can manually add the findings. is there a field im missing somewhere? im using the generic findings import at the moment.
end goal is that during the import of findings is that i can automatically assign all the endpoints to each finding.

am i being daft here? or can someone point me to the right doc?

in addition.. whats the difference between endpoint and host? when importing it populates both. had a look but no solid answer.
still at the beginning of our journey with defect dojo and loving it so far

If you're using the generic importer, it depends if you're importing JSON or CSV. Quickly skimming both parsers at https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/tree/master/dojo/tools/generic it appears that the JSON supports endpoints and CSV does not.

So, if you're doing CSV imports, getting endpoints added during import won't happen but can for JSON - there might be examples of the JSON with endpoints here: https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/tree/master/unittests/scans/generic

HTH
