Hi, interesting, GFLI means this: https://globalfeedlca.org/gfli-database/lifecycle-inventory-download/?
The EF2 database is supposed to be in ILCD format, but when importing it unfortuntately throws a lot of errors in openLCA since flows and other elements (flow properties, sources) are missing in the provided package: (only a small section of the error log from importing it)

It is a bit a pity, but creating valid ILCD data package seems to be really an issue, for many (and I know that some say that in GaBi, e.g., if you have the flow / source / etc. already in your database, then it is smart to delete it from the import package although other elements in the import package point to a then non-existent location, but that is quite a tinkering / workaroundish approach I think, plus you then don't know how the element you skip looks like in the database you import into, since only the UUID is checked).
Maybe it is good to make GFLI aware of this..
Best wishes,
Andreas
