OTIS events with link fields are imported blank, must be manually reimported

[BrendanJercich]

From Jeff at Cardwell:

When importing Events that have the Links field populated, they arrive into wordpress blank. (see screenshot)

The workaround I discovered is to delete the blank row in wordpress, save the listing, then click Reimport Fields, which then properly brings in the data.

The client is currently using WP OTIS 1.1.15, but I see the issue happening for 1.2.5.2 as well.

ex.
Winter Wonderland at Jackson Bottom
5504ea87-e663-416e-ac51-a9f010260344
Hillsboro

after initial import:
Links field
Network Type: blank
URL: blank

after deleting blank for, updating the listing, running Reimport Fields:
Links field
Network type: Website
URL: https://www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/Home/Components/Calendar/Event/124789/4816

Here are some other listings having this issue for your testing:

The wordpress OTIS filter for tualatinvalley.org

    add_filter( 'wp_otis_listings', function ( $params ) {
     $params['city'] = 'Aloha|Banks|Beaverton|Buxton|Cornelius|Durham|Forest Grove|Gaston|Hillsboro|King City|North Plains|Portland|Sherwood|Tigard|Tualatin|Wilsonville';
     $params['type'] = 'Events|Cities|Regions';
     return $params;
    } );

Have not managed to reproduce this locally yet, so no diagnosis at the moment.

Hi @mattschaff, I wanted to see if you had an opportunity to look into this OTIS issue at all yet?

Got a full copy of the Tualatin Valley site that is experiencing the problem from Jeff, installed locally, upgraded the wp-otis plugin to the latest on the main branch, and am now trying a POI import from the last couple of months to see if I can reproduce the issue on events.
