Entity Framework Function Import returns incorrect Column Information

I am trying to import a function spa_SessionLoad which should be returning a particular row from my Session management table. When I click on the 'Get Column Information' button, it instead pulls the info from a different stored procedure (spa_InventoryUpdate), which returns a single string.

I'm working with a sql 2008 database, using database-first methods.

I've built a few other function imports, and they all seem to be correct.
I've verified the code on the SQL Server returns a row when the sproc is executed.

The culprit seems to be that my 'Load' function contains some cleanup code to deal with abandoned sessions, which ultimately calls the spa_InventoryUpdate procedure. The import tool seems to be getting confused with the return of that EXEC call, instead of the one for the 'Load' .

At any rate, how can I get the function imported, if its pulling the wrong return info?

Thanks

It turns out that if you know the actual return type you can just specify it in the UI. In my case, I knew it was really returning a single "session" row, so I selected my "session" EF object, and everything worked as required.
