 * I have an error with the latest version. I am trying to import a custom post 
   type with customs terms
 * It was working before with version 1.3.3 and works if I leave the custom terms
   blank.
 * The error is
    500: A term with the name and slug already exists in this taxonomy.

 * It seems like 1.3.3 has a similar issue but does not display it as an error in
   ingest, it does not however show up in the admin. If I set the value of the custom
   term to something that does not already exist it will ingest. This is an issue
   as the whole point of the custom terms is they are created one and reused.
 * It was working in an earlier version probably 1.3.2

 * Hello Krenzky,
 * Can you turn on debug ingestion and post the debug output?

 * In the configuration I have in the Custom Terms field
    truck_location,truck
 * This was working but now it tries to create it as a new term instead of applying
   it to the imported post.
