Description
Currently, when importing Users FeedMe presents a dropdown of the value we are providing that will be used to match the user, such as ID or Email.
With Assets, no similar option exists. Assets require that we provide a filename and don't give us an option to choose to match by ID if we know the Element ID we wish to match.
Perhaps my concern is misplaced, but I don't believe filenames need to be unique if they exist in different folders and an Asset Field could allow a user to upload Assets to more than one folder. While I expect it's an uncommon scenario and FeedMe is probably doing something behind the scenes to decide which file to match if two files of the same name exist as options to be selected in a given Asset Field, there is less need to ask questions about how all that works and to just use a unique ID if we happen to know it.
