Bug Description

When importing a Notion zip file, if items in a database have contents in them , these contents are imported into appflowy but only some pages are linked in the table.

For example, if I have a database of contacts

  • Jim, phone number, email
  • Jen, phone number, email

And in Notion, I can open Jim as a page and put notes about Jim in the page contents, these don't correspond to particular db fields, it is just contents of the Jim page.

When importing into appflowy, I can get the contacts database, and the Jim page, but they aren't linked - the contacts table has all the fields, and there is a Jim page with the page contents but they are separate pages in Appflowy. Clicking on Jim in the table opens a blank page

How to Reproduce

  • Create a database in notion
  • for items in the database, open them as a page and add content
  • export workspace
  • import into appflowy

Expected Behavior

When imported into appflowy, the items in the database will contain the page contents too, not just the database fields

Operating System

N/A

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.7.2

Screenshots

In Notion, both of these pages have contents. After importing here, "Harbin retreat" is an empty page ^^

any updates on this? This is a major blocker in migrating workflow from notion

I have a similar issue, but literally every single imported page is blank for me along with missing links
