FeedMe Inner field mapping

Question

According to the CraftCMS FeedMe 4 docs we should be able to import inner element field data when importing content via FeedMe.

I have a section we'll call Parent, which has two fields that need importing; ImportId (text field) and ChildEntry (Entry relationship). Child Entry has two fields, Title and Body.

I am able to map Parent->ImportId and ChildEntry->Title I am unable to map to ChildEntry->Body.

My JSON looks like this:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "title": "secrets",
      "import_id": "UUID-9-3/4",
      "child_title": "Harry Potter",
      "child_message": "Is in a dream",
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Is this expected functionality, or am I reading the documentation correctly?

You should nest the child's details like so:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "title": "secrets",
            "import_id": "UUID-9-3/4",
            "child": {
                "child_title": "Harry Potter",
                "child_message": "Is in a dream"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Then make sure you you choose data as your Primary Element when mapping your feed and check Create entries if they do not exist for the relational field.
