City selection broken after importing csv

I’ve been experiencing a problem with city selection not working properly after importing my listings (site under development).
After importing .csv (using GD import CSV tool), everything looks great except that if I edit any listing he city selector is blank and I cannot select the city.
Furthermore, since “city” is a required field I effectively cannot save any changes to the listing unless I change Multilocation–City–Enable default city.

fyi. I have some custom fields importing via the database, and am also importing listing expiry dates, “is_featured” binary, and package IDs. All seem to import correctly.

Also fyi, City selector works fine when adding new listings.

When checking the geodir_post_locations table in the database, I noticed that the csv import is creating a duplicate set of location ID #’s that do not match the original ID #’s I set up. I’m not sure ho to fix this without breaking the GD map (tried to manually change, but then got “no listings found” on map).

I’ve also tried re-importing .csv with an added column for “post_location_id” to see if I could force GD to assign existing ID #’s to each listing, but new ID #’s were auto-created again anyways.

Can you please investigate?
