How to force to use same IDs when import?

Question

Hi,
I export my contacts and import them in a different odoo system. I exported both ID and External ID columns. Former column is interger and latter one is text.
When I import, the ID column can't be accepted, and I can't find the correct ID column in the drop down list.

If I don't import the ID column, some mapping relationship will be messed up.

You cannot import record IDS due to ids are generated dynamically by Odoo

As @Julio reported, you cannot import the database id field, as this is managed by Odoo.
You do not need to import this field.
The *External ID* field is what references the record, and this is what determines if Odoo creates a new record or updates an existing record.
